All present and correct...

I think that I have everything I need for tomorow*. I am going to my printers to get two sets of my Playboy essay printed on a good quality gloss paper; then the GDIC project will be presented in the best possible way.

*Just spotted the time - for "tomorrow" read as "today".

Feeling really good about course today...

Today I feel so good about the course.

Following on from my blog entry last night about yesterdays discussions, I stumbled across the contact details for Paul Nini. We have exchanged a few emails and he has given me some very useful information regarding the ethical side of design.

As a fantastic bonus - as if getting a bona fide American professor to personally contact you was not good enough! - Paul sent a link to another of his articles "Typography and the Aging Eye" that will be rich material for another part of this course.

My decision to take a gamble on emailing Paul has reaped huge awards! Thank you Paul.

Last night at college...

I handed in my Graphic Design in Context essay as a printed A4 document. I think Patrick thought that the printouts were my finished "designed" final submission!

This evening we looked in Ethics in Graphic Design and Artistic Copyright.

We went through all the things we need to submit by January 21st - my what a lot there is still to do.
