I have been asked to ask all Lv1, Lv2 and Lv3 GD students to complete the attached questionnaire which is going out to all of DAVC students. There are 4 questions so will take about one minute of your time to complete.

Thank you.

Day Trip Information

Hello first year graphics...

I hope you're all ready for tomorrow (and Friday's) day trip?
Basically we don't have too much to add - so please re-read the information below carefully and make sure you come fully prepared. We will be finishing at around 4.30ish. See you at 10.00am.

...

We are NOT striking tomorrow as we both feel the only people who are disadvantaged are you the students.

Best, Ed and Dan.

We will be meeting at 10.00am in Trafalgar Square on the central steps. Please locate it and plan plan your route there with this journey planner:

http://www.london.gov.uk/priorities/art-culture/trafalgar-square/visiting-the-square

Here are some things that you will need to bring:

1. Sketchbook and pens / pencils ( of course!)

2. Camera ( iphone's will do)

3. Umbrella ( still gotta do the project if it rains)

4. A warm coat, hat and scarf, possibly even some gloves (you will be outside pretty much all day.)

5. An A-Z map, in case you get lost!

6. Some money ( you will need to buy lunch and a coffee or two so have at least £10.00 on you if possible, if not possible prepare a packed lunch and a drink.)

7. Your phone.

8. Your common sense! Please travel in with a friend if you're not familiar with central London. You will be working in groups during the day, so hopefully no one will get lost.

Security marking of personal equipment

The school of Arts and Digital Industries will be holding two sessions next week where staff and students can security mark their personal equipment with UV pens.  This is almost invisible to the eye but clearly visible under UV lights, used by police and security to identify recovered stolen equipment.

I would encourage you to mark all valuables that you may bring to school to improve the chances of recovery if they are stolen.  These sessions are available to all and will be held in the foyer of the AVA building on:

Monday 22nd October 12-1pm

Tuesday 23rd October 12-1pm

This week.....

Hi Graphics Students,
Firstly I think you all deserve a pat on the back for producing some great videos for last weeks project. Both myself and Ed were really impressed with the videos. With this in mind I would like all groups to send a link to their videos, please email me this link. If you still have not been able to upload the video to youtube then please get that done first.

Secondly the critiques we had with both groups were really active, this shows us you are committed and hopefully this will continue and improve.

Next week we will be introducing you all to Adobe Illustrator (http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/illustrator.html). In small groups I will take these lessons while the rest of you will work with Ed in the studio. Each group will swap around during the day.

It is of up most importance that you make sure you have a Mac login to be able to use the computers. You can test if you have one by typing in your UEL user-name and enter as the password into the log-in screen of any Mac at the AVA, MPS or the Library. If this does not work you will need to go here: http://mpsinfo.co.uk/apple-mac-support/get-a-mac-login.html

your'll need to know your UEL email address and Student Number.

Please continue to develop your branding idea until you reach an excellent solution. Re read the brief again and again until you understand exactly what is being asked of you. Reductive expressive clarity is what is needed. For the time being keep it hand rendered and on paper. Remember to bring this work in this week.
