all starry eyed…


The return of our second years last week also brought the start of a new trend…the EDGD star awards. Throughout the year we are going to present special design awards for exceptionally awesome, or exceptionally silly, displays of graphic skill. The first of these awards was to announce the Designer Of The Year for the previous 12 months, as voted for by the students. Congratulations to Adam Dempsey who consistently produced the best design throughout the first year of the course…or paid the most bribes!! Hopefully this first award will stimulate a competitive atmosphere in the second year base room, and we shall see some amazing work…mainly because we have 19 more awards to give out!!
So, second years - work hard, think hard…and do great stuff!!
And remember…we're always watching…

big treats…


It's induction week again already!! Where did that sneak up from?? Of course, induction week can only mean a couple of things: new first year students, Sue confusing everyone's names, and Big It Up! The new guys took to this task no problem, which is a good indication for us having some great designers again this year. All we need to do now is to get ready for the second years returning next week, and then it's time for some hard work… as we like to say “back to the sketch…”
