Lucy,
"The book is an accumulation of the different experiments I
worked on within my chosen subject of Mythology. It covers
three areas of interest: Mythology & Science, Ancient Mythology
and Mythology & Modern Culture. The poster features all the spreads
from the book, with the 'Thank Gods' slogan screenprinted in gold over
the top. It's a relief to see it all together in its finished state, it really is!"

Nicola, "Here are my latest photos for my exhibition plus the sleeve
that I have designed for my book. I decided to use one large photo
instead of a poster with a select few because I feel that the picture
in the frame entices you more. My tutor suggested to me that I
should try a sleeve for my book in this design and he was right, it
looks lovely. I printed a the picture on the sleeve so that you would
be able to see it through the gap in the sleeve, I thought it wouldn't
suit my book but I was very wrong."

Exhibition is drawing near so today we started
photocopying our portfolios which we are
aiming to set up as a wall piece / booklet.

One & A Dozen

2010-05-11T12:44:00.000-07:00

For our end of Degree shows we've been working on giving ourselves our own brand collectively as a class.
Ultimately called One & A Dozen as there are thirteen of us in total. (logo below, minus all the text).

So I've mocked up an interactive wall piece for our London shows, the lines as you can see in the logo would sit to the right hand side of the '1' also made out of wood and will double up as shelves for bits of promo.

Well, it's all over! The A4 Draw prize draw took place at the RK Burt gallery yesterday, where the lucky winners were picked at random. The winning ticket numbers have been listed next to the pieces below - congratulations if you won! We'll be getting the prizes in the post on Monday.

All of us students from South Essex College would like to say a couple of massive Thank Yous. Firstly to all our contributors, as without them The A4 Draw would not have been possible! We really appreciate your generosity, and we ended up with such a wonderful mix of pieces up for grabs.

Secondly we'd like to thank every one of you who bought a ticket. We've been so, so pleased with the reaction The A4 Draw received, and every ticket bought has helped us to raise some much-needed money to fund our graduate exhibitions this summer.

Thank you all for your support - it's been fun!
