OUGD602 - Self Promo - David Cyril

Learning Outcomes - 6B2 + 6A2 + 6D2

In our group we had a few initial ideas of people we potentially wanted to come visit our uni, but the two favourites were Kate Moross and David Cyril.

Kate Moross is a graphic designer and illustrator based in London. She has 46.1k followers on Instagram.



We all really liked her work but we also thought it could be a bit of a reach trying to get her to come to uni. She is really quite well-known and we weren't sure we would even get a response.

Our other option was David Cyril.

David Cyril is an 86 year old man from Lancashire. He started an Instagram account just a few months ago to document his Slimming World journey. Through his endearing and cute pictures of his meals, his followers numbers have EXPLODED to a massive 116k in just a matter of months.



Whilst David Cyril is not a graphic designer, nor is he anything to do with design at all, he:

a)has more than double the amount of followers Kate has

b)has gained a massive amount of followers in such a short amount of time - gone viral. Could give us tips on how to go viral/become massive in a short amount of time.

c)is more likely to come into uni - more down to earth - less on schedule


After a close group vote, we decided on David Cyril. We felt his super quick rise to Instagram fame could be a great insight for us.
