Swatch Young Illustrator Award

You have to be over 21 and there is no upper age limit.... which is unusual for 'young' - but there is a large prize, link to the CR blog post and then the entry form here.

FilmClub brief

Andrew in the LRC has asked if any student would be interested in a brief to manage the publicity for FilmClub - I think it's a great idea - I'll develop a brief with him this week, but feel free to come and talk to me if you want to get involved.

Passwords

If you are still looking for a password for the computer or printer log-in - or you have managed to lock yourself out by getting it wrong 3 times, you can go along to the Library and they can do it for you instantly at the front desk.

FDA Course Reps

Francessca is going to be your course rep again this year for FDA 2, I need a rep for year 1 - someone who is happy to represent the students needs and act as a single voice - it's really good for your CV and you get to find out a bit about the inner workings of the University - I also think you get the odd lunch thrown it. I'll ask you on Monday who wants to go for it.

FDA2 Feedback

I'll talk to you in person today, but just to confirm that I will write a group feedback on the summer brief rather than anything individual - and I'll have this ready for you over the weekend. Remember - it's not part of your academic mark - but a useful indicator of where you are.

SCCH Fashion Show 2011

Sorry for any confusion - some of you think I'm against FDA Graphic Comm students modeling at this years fashion Show - of course you can - I have a feeling I was referring to something else there - anyone who wants to take part in the gala this year is very welcome.
