The Dog Ate my Sketchbook

We will be looking for work to publish in a new NCN publication. All you need to do is supply an excuse of why you haven't got your sketchbook (something which we never need to ask for) accompanied by a sketch or graphical / 3D representation.

To give you an idea of what route we are going down, check out the work of Oliver Jeffers at www.oliverjeffers.com

The file should be emailed to richard.johnson@ncn.ac.uk as a 300 dpi jpeg.

Year One Summer Project: Ten by Ten



As you will be aware by now we have set you the task to fill as many sheets of 10 by 10 cm sheets of paper as you can, using only a black pen and orange pencil crayon.

The idea is for you to keep a visual diary of anything you see of interest over summer. Okay, you may be out in the rain more often; judging by the terrible weather so far, but please don't dismiss a wet page or two - sometime a happy accident can look better than the intended solution.

Welcome to the Crazy Bus

Welcome to the HND Graphic and 3D Design blogspot here at NCN. We hope that you will all use this little space on the tinterweb to post your thoughts, share ideas and more importantly get to know eachother before you start the course.

This is your space, so feel free to comment amongst yourselves and keep an eye out for any updates throughout the year. Feel free to upload new links to websites, dates of exhibitions, scans and any further information you feel may be of use to your peers. Design is not a solitary discipline - help eachother, bounce ideas and discuss the areas of Art & Design that interest you the most.

As tutors we will add as much information as we come across and hope to see you all from time to time develop your voice on the Crazy Bus.

Richard.
