This morning in the studio, we were given an inspiration exercise to find fun and interesting pieces that make us smile. These were then shown to the class on the big screen to get the creative juices flowing. As a group, we are all in competition with each other to create the promotional material for our final exhibition.
Here is my (very simple) video of inspiration, appropriately set to 'Pencil Full of Lead.'

Summer WOW
A college brief set over the Summer break to provide words of wisdom for the new first year of the course. Another aspect to the project was to plan out their induction week. As a class we pitched for the job, myself and two classmates won and took charge of the group for three days. We set up an inspiration wall, worked on a brief and presented together to allow them to see how we work. As well as an external mentoring programme, we now have internal mentoring in place to pass our knowledge down.

HND Review Show, Jan 2011
Last week we finally held our Review Show at Edinburgh's Telford College.
This was an opportunity to show our Industry Mentors how our portfolios are coming along before we go off on work placement for one month. The NC and HNC groups were also invited along to help out and to take part in a one hour project together. I got some excellent feedback and am feeling very confident with my progress. You can read more about the exhibition on our course blog and on the Telford website.
Editorial: Excite Culture
This brief required that we design a weekend supplement magazine for a broadsheet newspaper. We were also required to collaborate with the HND Photography students, briefing them and going along to art direct - a great experience, but very nauseating in the cheesemonger! We then selected our subject matter from a hat. I chose Culture. I decided to do an article on how supermarkets have changed the customers shopping experience; not having that social, community feel of previous days. I treated the images to give a vintage feel and really had fun with the typography.
