Pete Rossi

Bio:

Based out of London, Pete Rossi is an award-winning and multi-disciplinary graphic designer and brand consultant. Pete Rossi was born just outside Glasgow, Scotland in... 1981 to an Italian father and Scottish mother and went on to graduate with a 1st from the Glasgow School of Art in 2006. With 20 years experience and 52 international awards to date, he has gone on to work in freelance and full-time capacities for several renowned studios/agencies in the UK, USA and Europe including Design Studio, CCRZ, Coast Design, Eglenick and Webb, Fitch, Future Works, Leo Burnett, M&C Saatchi, Marque Creative (Noë & Associates) and Studio Astrid Stavro. In 2011 he was one of the 50 winners to receive the prestigious Art Directors Club of New York Young Gun award. His work has also been awarded/featured by ADC, Creative Review (The Annual), Communication Arts, Design Week, D&AD, Cannes Lions, Graphis and Red Dot. Pete is actively involved within the design community, having been a guest lecturer at Parsons New School of Design in New York and most recently Brunel University and at his old stomping ground, the Glasgow School of Art. Pete holds an awarded membership with D&AD, Graphis and The One Club for Creativity (formerly ADC). He has featured as a jury member for design competitions such as the Young Guns in New York and The One Club for Creativity (Denver and San Diego chapters). Alongside his professional design practice, Rossi develops independent personal projects that explore socio-political symbolism, globalisation, patriotic rhetoric, human rights, and identity. His work often operates through what he describes as “Acti-vised Truth” – a form of activist/social visualised commentary that amplifies real political and social tensions through the manipulation of familiar symbols such as flags, political merchandise, and national insignia. By presenting these objects in hyperreal or recontextualised ways, Rossi exposes and provokes discussion around contemporary social, political and human rights issues.Read More
