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

PAINTING THE WALLS

Dear students,

I want to ask for some volunteers to help us paint the studiowalls for the open day.
On thursday (preferably in the morning).
Then it will be dry in the afternoon so we can install things there.
Please mail me if you can do it.

NATURE WANTED TO

Nature wanted to recreate him in another form
We lost one of our tree behind the Rietveld building just next to the river today. Everybody who has memories under his shadow will remember him nicely. I couldn’t count his age because it had been out from his roots, but I guess he had lived there for some generations of Rietveld and will be continuing his life with his spirit around.
