The time has arrived already… Both our first years and our second years have their respective FMP deadlines today. First years are finishing up their fanzine projects, and of course the second years are finishing up their self-initiated, super-huge final projects! Nothing like a bit of pressure and a looming deadline to get inspired and be creative… good luck everyone!
And remember, we're always watching…
The 125th anniversary celebrations are still going on around the college this week, and since we mentioned it the other day, these are the prints that Sue and Tim contributed to one of the art & design exhibitions. As you can see they have both chosen to go with what they know: branding logos, and typography!
The first poster is by Sue, focusing on famous British brands and their identities from the past 125 years… how many can you recognise?! The second poster is by Tim, and is a typography timeline that focuses on some of the most notable typeface designs of the last 125 years, and some of their most famous uses… with no Comic Sans in sight!
The exhibition is still on show in the atrium area of the Beacon Centre if you want to take a look…
This week and next week mark a very special time for Blackburn College… it's our 125th anniversary! To mark the occasion there have been, or there will be very soon: visits from V.I.P's and royalty, staff vs student football matches, exhibitions, tea parties, variety show performances, victorian brunches, celebratory dinners, and many other events. Here in Art & Design we have put a special exhibition together that focuses on art, design, photography, meda production, textiles, and fashion over the past 125 years, with Sue and Tim producing special prints to contribute to the cause.
Here's to another 125 years…
A 'well done' goes out to one of our first years, Kasim, for his extra special work yesterday. Kasim took over from Mandy for the morning, and ran the weekly tutorial session. He focused on proverbs, idioms, sayings and phrases etc with the focus being to make the rest of the students think about the use of these in their own graphic design work. The session went really well, and we think Kasim secretly enjoyed all the 'power'… well, every dog has his day!! Who knows, maybe one day soon Kasim might actually be one of the Graphic Design team here at Blackburn College…
