Central Saint Martins Graphic Design 2009

4 March, 2009

Update from 3rd March

Hellooo ha. Good dinner team.
Here is an update of the show according to what I have been updated with. Apologies if it is ever so slightly off.

T-Shirts
Joe is off to Istanbul as of Thursday. Louise will be heading up in place.
Designs and illustrations to Steve/Louise. We need volunteers for screen printing during the final week of term and possibly next week. The main screen printing day will be on the Thursday 19th of March. The entire screen printing has been booked, all the beds, the entire room. We’ll need lots of help, even if you haven’t screen printed before. It will be a fantastic opportunity for all of us to work together.

Garage Sale
Bring stuff in on Friday. Louise/Francesco/Surya will give more details. However for now all we need to know is there will be a collection point this Friday for old t-shirts/jumpers/books/games/cards etc.
This is panning out to be a fantastic event and I cannot wait to participate within the event!

Alcohol
Rich and Ollie you both need to liase with Felix/Monika. He should have the finalized pdf sponsorship pack.

Party
Jack will be away in Istanbul.
Wesley, ‘Anything But’ is booking the photo studio in the last week of term to hold an inter-year party. It might be an idea to organize a venue after?

Website Design
The main designers for this seems to be Jo/Tom/Adam/Neville/Ronin. However Stina/Louise will organise this group?

Sponsorship
We need more contacts. Leave a comment on this post with the relevant contacts or speak to Felix/Monika.

Publication
Felix, Annett and I will be meeting with Fedrigoni on Wednesday, we will update this post as to its next direction.

Cake Sale
Thursday, bring cakes to Sroop (07967764771)

Talking Tuesday: TIME

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — csmgraphics09 @ 10:12 am

Hi all,

It’s time again for Talking Tuesday! After the success of the last talk, on Value, we are now going to focus on TIME. Schedule follows:

The series:

  1. VALUE | Patrick & Max | Tuesday, 9 December, 6.30pm, computer room
  2. TIME | James King & Rathna & Max | Tuesday, 20 January, 5pm, computer room
  3. POWER | to be announced

We are thrilled to have guest speaker James King, who is going to talk about time management and American ‘Get Things Done’ guru David Allen. Rathna and I are also going to throw some bits and pieces in, so it will be a mix of philosophical food for thought, hard facts, funny anecdotes, useful tips, and of course some plain weird stuff.

We are starting at 5pm this time (come right up after the Istanbul info talk > see BB), so there will be plenty of time after for some lounging around and heated discussion. We’d love to see you there!

Max & Rathna

Talking Tuesday feedback

Filed under: General — Tags: , , , — csmgraphics09 @ 4:54 pm

Hi,

Patrick and I would like to thank those who attended our talk on Tuesday. We had lots of fun and hope you found it interesting, despite the slightly experimental format. Next time, we will make sure we’ll have some time after the talk to sit together and chat.

We would be very grateful if you could give us some feedback, so we can make the next one even better:

  • Did you like the format?
  • What did you like/not like?
  • Location and time ok?
  • Any other suggestions?

Note: I got quite a few business-related questions after the talk, and I can understand that these are important to you. We are planning a full careers day after Easter that will cover all these things (how to apply for a job, how to negotiate a fair salary, setting up your own business, securing work, writing contracts, invoicing, what to charge, how to get paid, and lots and lots more).

Anyway, we are looking forward to your feedback!

Max & Patrick

Talking Tuesday: VALUE

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — csmgraphics09 @ 5:24 pm

Hi all,

Patrick and I had the idea of running a series of talks on issues around graphic design. They will always happen on a Tuesday, hence Talking Tuesday ;-) , and will be run by year 3 tutors and students who want to help us.

The series:

  1. VALUE | Patrick & Max | Tuesday, 9 December, 6.30pm, computer room
  2. TIME | after Christmas, to be announced
  3. POWER | after Christmas, to be announced

Here are some sneak-peak extracts from the first talk, VALUE:

  • how to attach value to graphic design
  • short term vs. long term value vs. other values
  • how to work for money
  • how to burn a million quid
  • how to work for other random things, some much better than money
  • decision-making helper: should I take on that job/client?
  • and much, much more!

This first talk starts half-way through the logo design session – we thought by 6.30 you are sufficiently tired to be a willing audience ;-)

Talks

Filed under: Live Events — Tags: — Ken @ 10:47 am

As you may know their are two boards in the 3rd year graphics room to get some ideas on talks and lectures we could have as ‘live events’.

Can we use this thread to brainstorm some lecturers or even topics and the appropriate lecturers.
THINK BIG!
