stars of the small screen


Blackburn College have recently made some brand-spanking-new promo videos, one of them being for our very own Art & Design centre!! There's plenty of footage of our amazing course, there's a cameo from Sue and Mandy, and we even get to see one of our recent yearbook extraordinaires Lawrence Rhodes talking about NDGD - we are expecting lady fame to come-a-knocking any day now…

You can watch the Blackburn College Art & Design promo video right here

a quick lick…


The NDGD exhibition space is beginning to take shape, most things have been given a lick of paint - the walls, the floor, the windows, even some of the students - and now the real fun begins, as we start to design and create everyones exhibition stands… days of painting 6ft tall logos, checking for spelling mistakes, queueing up for the printer, checking spelling mistakes again, and cutting things out with a scalpel blade… oh it only seems like yesterday since we were doing all this for the 2009 exhibition!! It will be show-time in no time at all…
