GRAY WALLS

SHOT OF YOUR WORKSPACE

Hello all,

I need to document workspaces for a project I’m working on for a free magazine called LESS COMMON/MORE SENSE. It would be great if you could each take a shot of your workspace ie. desk, floor, bed. Whatever you consider it to be. If you think that outside is more your workspace, then cool. Take your things there and photograph them. I’m not fussed. If the shot is clear and of good lighting, that would be super. The more examples I get the better.I wish to collate them all and make something out of it.

All Best, Scott.

HAPPY LISTING

Hello students and teachers,
Some people from the department have been charmed by the publication ’50 Reading Lists’ by Spin (.co.uk > Recent > Spin/2), in which graphic designers list books they think other designers should read.

Although this already supplies a few years’ worth of reading, I thought it might be nice to bring it closer to home, and see what everyone at school would recommend. So: which X books do you find valuable for designers (and/or human beings)? Accompanied by short explanations, if you wish.

I hope you’re interested. On Valentine’s Day, I’ll compile the lists into an e-mail – nothing fancy – and I’ll mail it around. Feel free to forward to others, of course.

Happy listing,
Sam (second year, samdegroot@gmail.com)

A PROPER TYPEFACE

Hey everyone,
I am in the middle of a research and I need your opinion. What typeface does the Rietveld need? (in connection to a corporate typeface) And of course why? It would be nice if you would just drop me some lines in an email about what you are thinking concerning a proper typeface.

Thanks, nora
