work (and play)

The NDGD students and staff have just recently visited Manchester to see the Cube Gallery's latest exhibition - Alan Fletcher: Fifty years of work (and play). It was a great day out, with all of the second years definitely enjoying the experience, and being bowled over by the work of one of the icons of modern graphic design. It was wasted on some of our students however, who thought that buying trainers or visiting Primark was all that Manchester had to offer. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, as the saying goes…

The Alan Fletcher exhibit is definitely worth a visit, and is set to run until 3rd April 2010 at the Cube Gallery, Portland Street, Manchester. More info on the exhibition & the Cube Gallery can be found here

It was an eventful & memorable trip to say the least, and the NDGD staff had their eyes opened…we got tips on buying Hi-Top trainers, and we were exposed to shopaholics, desperate toilet habits, and a bit of vomit!!!
