. . . and it starts all over again!

Place : Studio 201. Activity : the new second years go to work!

Last year, Matt and Swaddy from FDOrange, who had finished their course came back in and helped the editor rebuild the studio after their exhibition. That was a first - as usually the editor has to lug the boards and tables about himself.

But as ever you can't please everyone and one or two aired their concerns over the build. So, being a diplomatic sort the editor invited those who had other ideas to come back into the studio to arrange their working environment.

On Tuesday only half the class arrived, several didn't even respond to the invite - looks like the editor going to have to reintroduce his favourite word that the summer has removed from some of the groups memory . . . COMMUNICATE!

Big thanks to those who did arrive - in the picture below Emma/Adam/TomS/Chris/JoshH - out of camera Jemma/JoshA/Emily/Natasha.

Another Year Over . . .


To say goodbye to a year we have to start at the beginning. Early September 2010, the second FD group - FDGreen. Very much an eclectic group - 11 from WSA and three from the outside world. Click the picture to meet the group.

Everyone sets off with the desire to reach the professional world of graphic design - in one form or another . . . but there are always casualties. The editor finds it particularly disappointing when talented artists and designers lose their focus and never quite fulfill their potential. By the end of the year we had lost four of the number . . . to catch up with FDGreen's final year and show visit 'Departed:2012'
