Hello. This is the blog for Dialogue, a 3rd year degree show for students studying on the Advertising & Brand Communication course at UCA Farnham. Our aim is to create more than the show itself, but to showcase the variety of thinking and approaches taken by the students themselves. One aspect shared throughout is the ability to create ideas for any media that are more than just a message. Based upon this thought, the aim of this space is to document and develop the story behind our show and create a dialogue with those who take an interest. With this, we hope that the experience of all those who take a second to participate (even if you just read this blog) will be enriched. Please use Firefly for your comments.
The men of the hour
Wow, what a whirlwind of events that occurred last week. The deadline for our final major project was the 22nd of May, but to spice it up a bit, the printers wanted our banner designs for the London show in on the 20th. We were all really up against it but not as much as one team in particular. Dave, who came up with the design for dialogue, very kindly set aside the whole of that Tuesday for time slots with all of the other groups. This gave them the opportunity to have him for an hour to lay out their work on the banners, ready for the printers the next day. Matt, his creative partner for FMP was the proof-reader and what a day they had. All in all they were up and working on other peoples layouts for over 24hours straight, Dave’s wrist is now warped, so you can easily fit a Mac mouse snugly in his hand, and the amount of Coca Cola the two of them drank will boost the coke profits majorly. The whole Dialogue team extends their up most thanks to the sterling work that went on in that room, and we will all be raising our glasses (hopefully with you as well) to the two of them on the private view this Thursday.
