Peter Southworth has joined The Red & Yellow School of Logic and Magic as course director.
After studying graphic design at the Michaelis School of Art, Peter worked as an art director at advertising agencies such as The White House, JWT and Ogilvy. He was part of the four-man team that established Hunt Lascaris in Cape Town and he also started his own agency 'The Gap', with partner Allan MacDonald.
