Students and poster designs

The walls of many universities display an array of posters for various events and activities.

To use the poster as a vehicle to help communicate research ideas within the studio/classroom can offer an interesting experience. Image of students at AUCB event in 2010.

Writing Pad

Thursday's (29/03/12) Writing Pad event 'Writing in Creative Practice: Thinking through Writing and Making' at Staffordhire University offered useful ideas for stimulating and supporting students' writing approaches. Pat Francis offered valuable examples of tactics and materials to use in developing writing through a creative workshop organised by Dr. Alke Groppel-Wegener. A further event in May is to follow. A great range of participants created a lively day.
