End Days Collection / next Friday

If any FDA2 students did not receive the Penguin logo's or the PDF guide to the presentation I sent out today - email me straight away and request another one.

cheers.

Timetable starting December 6th

This is your last timetabled week this year, and although we had a bit of disruption last week - we only lost 2 days for FDA2 - so it shouldn't have any effect on anyone.


Monday December 6th / Tuesday December 7th - FDA1

You are in the Studio with Richard - working on your retail briefs.

I also want to spend 20 mins with each of you talking 1-2-1 about your performance this year, I'll try and do 4 students each session - 16 all together over 2 days.

Wednesday December 8th - FDA1

Kay Avery-Stallion is hopefully going to be free to spend the afternoon with us, going through all the retail work and talking to you - I'll be marking the work today


Wednesday December 8th - FDA2

Studio day working on the Design for Print brief.


Thursday December 9th - FDA2

C&C with Gary Neill - to make up for last week - you will have a session in both the morning and afternoon

Friday December 10th - FDA2

John Grindrod from Faber &Faber is due in the afternoon to review your work with me and help make the end of this module - and to talk to you in the afternoon about the work.


Xmas Drinks - if you are up for a Christmas Drink on Wednesday evening - 4.30 - 6.30, in The Jenny Lind in Hastings Old Town, please inform your group rep - it would be nice to get as many of you all together as possible, and The Jenny is best venue for it.

Well Done Courtney

FDA1 Student Courtney Vizard has plenty to be proud of - follow the link to the main website to read about his major achievement ( although the quote from me is made up by someone else, they spell my name wrong and Courtney's on the film.... )

More to cheer you up

Belle & Sebastian words hidden in the world experimental promotional film.
I know you are all devastated at having to stay home in the snow... so here's the worlds smallest stop motion animation to cheer you up.

Friday 3rd December

College will be closed..... I'm sure you are all devastated, I know I am... ( honest! )

It's not the end of the world....
























If the college is closed tomorrow ( you will get an update on the SCCH site and here ) I will post examples online or by email of how the FDA2 work needs to be developed and presented for next week - you still have plenty of time to get this one resolved - and you can come in all next week if you need to.

We have moved one of the large tables over to where Jane used to sit ( she has her own office now ) for cutting and making - use this as a practical area.

Gary will do a double session of C&C for FDA2 next week - so nobody will miss out, and FDA 1 should be able to continue as normal.

If you need to talk to me - email me and I'll let you have a land line number.

I have about 2 ft of snow outside my front door so I'm not planning on going anywhere today - (except dog walking).... and tonight will probably be very cold, estimated -5, so please be sensible and wrap up warm.

Thursday December 2nd

Yes... we are closed... even I won't go outside!!

keep your eye on the college websites and blogs for news and information - I'll update later.

Thursday December 2nd

I am informed that the college will be open - but check on the main SCCH website first before leaving home.

FDA2 - Gary is with you today - this week and next week you have half a day as a session of C&C and half a day as a graphics project with Gary - if attendance is low tomorrow - he will run the graphics brief and do a double C+C next week.

Many thanks to everyone that came in today - it was quite a good session and I saw some really nice work.

Wednesday December 1st / Snow

I am going to be in college today, I've had conflicting reports about opening - I think UCH is closed but the main site says Station Plaza is open, and I've not been contacted.

I do understand that many of you live out of town and in rural areas etc - so please use some common sense and don't drive in if you are not comfortable with the conditions.

The forecast does not give much clues as to what to expect - I'll post some more information at 10am when I'm at the studio
