Screen can be picked up or order one if you missed out before. Posted by: Rose
Hollie in the shop says….
I’ll be taking orders and payments up until Friday 12/3/10 at 3PM! I’m sure this will be the last chance to get a screen so any orders after this time won’t be accepted!
The screens from the previous order are now in, and the new ones should be in by Tuesday/Wednesday next week.
The price is £29.30 each.

You all want placements in the future – here is a great opportunity to make connections and hopefully get one!
Room 215
Morning Session: 10.00am – 1.pm – Neville Kemp from the Careers Service, Benn Achilleas from Neoco Design and Russell Saunders from GBH are coming in to do a CV workshop with you in the morning. They will talk about what makes a good or bad CV and what they each look for.
Numbers are limited to 22 remaining so sign here if you want a place.
Also, take the time to look up their agencies and get to know their work, which are very different in approach as this will help you.
Afternoon session: 2pm – 5pm Benn and Russell will be doing Portfolio Reviews with individual students. You will need to prepare a 2 min ‘elevator pitch’, and bring your portfolio with you to show!

BOOKBINDING MATERIALS & LIST FOR WEDNESDAY 17TH MARCH: Posted by: mike
2nd Years signed up for this event are:
Corynne Bailey
Alison Bartlett
Nadia Kleopa
Clare Lane
Becky Scarborough
Suzanne Smith
Cara Webb
METTE AMBECK HAS SENT THE FOLLOWING TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR THE SESSION ON WEDNESDAY 17th (WEEK AFTER NEXT).
TO GIVE YOU RAW MATERIALS FOR THE SESSION YOU MUST BRING:
A good selection of used/discarded paper:
• envelopes
• letters/handwritten samples
• e-mails – printed out versions
• old sketches/life drawings – not precious ones.
• wrapping paper
• paper bags
• wallpaper
• any sort of non-precious paper ephemera or packaging you do not necessarily associate with a book.
The selection will be used as pages in your book, so think about how the paper can be folded in half. For this you will need minimum 16-20 pieces of a similar size.
(i.e. A6, A4 or what ever size – A3 is a little too big for this exercise, so A6/A4 are better sizes to aim for.)
You also need to bring a larger piece of paper/material to act as cover for your book. This piece has to be big enough to be wrapped around the whole book and a bit more (about 2-3 cm on all sides).
VITAL EQUIPMENT WHICH WE WILL NOT PROVIDE:
• Craft knife/scalpel – and spare blades.
• Scissors
• Metal ruler
• Cutting mat or board to cut into
• Any bookbinding tools you may happen have, like a bone folder etc.
• Also handy to have something heavy like books available for pressure!
MAKE SURE YOU BRING ALL THIS AND THE SESSION WILL GO SWIMMINGLY.
Mette’s looking forward to meeting you.
