I do not acsociate myself with violence at all, but i was shocked when i heard a story from one festival goer whom i knew of. Although he had violently head-butt an officer, in his defence he said the officer was being unruley himself. When they took the offender back to the police station he was not charged due to the fact the officer was a UK officer and was out of his jurisdiction. This really starts to question whether there is any point in having such heavy polcing at such a small festival. The only reason for it that I can think of is that of the violence which rarely happens when there is an England VS Portugal football match which has only once been on national news. Of course i believe the States of Jersey would not want this image of the island's culture portrayed to a large naton as tourism is one of the largest industries the island relies on. However it goes to show how naieve the states are, and generally never seem to pay attention to the public. As Graphic Design student at university i was shocked also to see the new jersey logo the states had paid several thousands for. Having worked within this industry for well over 2 years now, I have learnt that certain designers/ artists etc. who have no idea about jersey let alone ever set foot upon the island will assume the island is naieve and has know idea what good design is. Therefore we end up with a logo which looks like a golden flying banana because the designers know they can make easy money from it. It also goes to show the lack of confidence The States have in their own local proffesionals which they paid and sent of to university in the first place.
