Excellent doc from the BBC here about the fragrance industry here that all of FDA1 should watch in anticipation of your packaging module next week.
Very good study of how perfume is designed, packaged and marketed by following the Tommy Hilfiger development of 'LOUD' - but also some of the less attractive parts of the industry - how 'design' gets in the way and a spectacularly inappropriate use of the word 'overdose'
I have to warn you - there are some really annoying people in this film, and some toe-curling moments - the pre-press launch briefing is excruciating - but that's exactly what the industry is about, except the bit where they show you how Debenhams prepare for a marketing push... and you go from elegant, Chic Paris to the wrong end of trashy Oxford street in one depressing jump.

Adrain Shaughnessey on Design Students
Shameless C+P from Design Week
In my roles as an external examiner at a number of universities, and as an occasional lecturer and part-time teacher, I’ve spent most of the past two months in design schools in the UK and Ireland. Like a war correspondent embedded with a front line unit, I’ve witnessed at first hand the attitudes, fears, tastes, prejudices and creative output of a cross section of the current generation of graduating design students.
Here are ten things you should know about today’s visual design students.
1. The good ones are as good as the best from any year you care to choose. In fact, I’d say the standard of top performing UK educated design students is so high that it is hard to distinguish their work from some of the best professional work. Or to put it another way – they’re bloody good.
2. Most design students have abandoned the design fetishism of the past two decades. There is far less emphasis on the stylistic beautification of graphic expression and in its place there is a renewed emphasis on content and returning graphic design to its Modernist roots of form dictated by function.
3. Many of the current generation of students seem to be motivated by social concerns. Where once their energies might have gone into designing CD covers and identities for cultural institutions, it is now commonplace to find students investigating ways in which design can drive social change. For me, this is the biggest single difference between today’s graduates and those from past years.
4. Student graphic designers are increasingly functioning like journalists: this is more noticeable at postgraduate level, but I’ve been struck by the number of undergraduate designers operating like self-publishing reporters. In recent years, an obsession with research for research’s sake has led to lots of dry outcomes, but now there is evidence of designer’s producing original research and then presenting it in a graphically coherent way.
5. It is getting harder to tell the difference between the work of students studying illustration and those studying graphic design.
6. In one school I went to recently, the tiny handful of failures and Thirds would have been top students 15/20 years ago.
7. Few students seem interested in web design. Most admit to being print fixated. This is a worry.
8. Many top students in UK schools are from abroad and many of them are exceptionally talented. What does this mean for UK design? Will they all go home to China, Korea, India and Brazil and join – or set up – world beating studios? Will they go back and teach in schools thus reducing the need for foreign students to come to the UK for an education? Will they stay in the UK and enrich the talent pool? Whatever they choose, foreign students are changing British design for the better.
9. I still hear professional designers and studio bosses complaining that students are not emerging as oven-ready employees. This is often true. Some students have no concept of – or interest in – the professional realm. But it is also true that many are more advanced, forward thinking and future-proofed than the studios demanding graduates with “real world expectations.”
10. A final thought for anyone who scoffs at student experimentation: students are told constantly by their tutors to “be original, be different and don’t copy.” If their attempts to do this sometimes fail, it should not be assumed that they are a lost generation. They are merely doing what generations of students have always done – trying to find what is new, fresh and vibrant. Why else would anyone want to study design?

Job in Publishing
I have already sent out a couple of emails to specific people - but I have had a request for applicants for a job in magazine design for a lifestyle publication based in battle - if you are interested, please contact me directly.
Thursday 23 June 2011
End of term.
The examination board met today with the External Examiners for all departments and the representatives of the University of Brighton.
You will be informed in writing by the board of your marks and their decisions. For FDA1 it will be a straightforward decision on your progression to year 2, for FDA2 you will be given a grade based on the total marks through the year, by module. As explained - I'm not allowed to talk to you about this grade until after you have been informed formally, but I'm happy to talk to anyone about work or their FMP.
The Private view on Friday will include work in the atrium by Top Up and the whole of floor 4 and much of floor 3 - there will be a lot of people and at least 2 bars. I think that Martin is a bit anxious that things don't get out of hand - in the past we have had the quad to gather in and it was much more relaxed, so please keep an eye open anyone getting a bit carried away. I'd also suggest you don't get too drunk - it always ends in tears and you are better off having a good memory of the night.
I'm not sure what arrangements you have made regarding the bar in SP4110, or curation of the room while the show is open - I'd be grateful if you could keep me informed.
I'm not going to be in every day ( I'm back at work now ) but I can be around if anyone needs me - and I'm in the process of planning next year and writing a new timetable. Ali will be available for much of the summer if needed.
I also suggest you take your sketchbooks away from the studio - things get 'lost' - and pick up any professional practice portfolio's that were left in the room - they are liable to go missing if you don't.
The blog will continue all through the summer ( although I may have a few days off ) - work comes in all the time, I have a quick job lined up for the college already if anyone is interested. I'll post details tomorrow.

Schedule for Exam week. Fda2
You MUST be in attendance on Monday at 10am, as already explained. The panel will look through the work and if there are any questions - they will call for you. If you do not attend and they ask to see you, it will probably lead to you being marked down. It should not take more than a couple of hours. The room will be closed all day - you cannot enter. There will be a 2nd marking session at 4pm, so nothing may be touched in the studio.
You must have a rational with your work, a copy of your brief and any sketchbooks and support work that is appropriate - all of the stuff that is in your brief, you will be able to take anything you don't want to be in the room away on Thursday.
David Simms from LCC will arrive at lunch time on Wednesday - in the early afternoon he will expect you all to be in attendance - he will go through the work first, check the marking is correct and to the right standards, and talk to you about the year ( I won't be there for this part )
The Exam Board is on Thursday - it takes most of the day - all of the marks are presented to the University - they make any decisions they feel regarding fails / late submissions etc - and check that all the marking is correct. This is a legal process and again - you can't be in the room.
You get access again on Thursday - plenty of time to get the room ready for the private view.
I will speak to all of you in the office and go through your rationalles one at a time - it's really important that they are perfect.

Week starting Sunday 12th June
The room is stripped and the furniture is piled up behind where the boards go. ( thanks to Dan and Lorna for offering to help ). Richard Bedwell will be in Early from Monday morning putting up the boards, and obviously we need lots of helphelp that that. As soon as the boards are up - they need to be gumstripped on the joins and painted - they are brand new so only the screw holes need filling, this will take a lot less time than usual - but new boards need about 3 coats of paint.
Everyone needs to help with this, no exceptions. Nobody chooses a space or puts up any work without clearing it with me first. The deadline for hanging work is 5pm Friday, no later - no exeptions - the room will be closed during marking and there can be no entry during next week.
A couple of computers are left networked in where Ellen / Dan usually sit - they can stay up for a few days in case of emergencies - but will need to be moved out before the end of the week.
Martell is very, very busy - don't leave anything to the last moment!!!!!

Surrealism and SciFi in design
Very interesting article from Rick Poyner via Design Observer about Surrealism, image and science Fiction. I have quite a big collection of stuff like this - it's interesting visually and politically / creatively - and FDA2 have a big design for print module in year 2 - so read on.
Design for Lagerfield
I think this is interesting - developing a brand identity for a client who already has a very strong visual that might otherwise drown out any work you are trying to do. The way they have made the photograph of Largerfield into a graphic is clever - keeping his 'image' as recognisable - but making it new and modern - and I like the 'K' and the way they play with it. We don't always have the luxury of working with clients who have visual profiles we love or can control - be we can make them better and take ownership of them by studying them and understand what they are - some creatives use the phrase 'brand DNA' - I don't like it myself - but the implied meaning is correct.

Going Green ?
This is interesting - how to re-brand something to make it unappealing. Australia wants to re-colour cigarette packaging olive green to make it less attractive to consumers. Re Colouring something to make it less attractive is counter intuative and very hard work, but an interesting academic problem.
Showcase: Vanessa Saba
Some very good work here - and this piece demonstrates that there is ALWAYS something new and inventive that you can do in typography, with this identity for AQ.
