johnny cupcakes in carnaby street!
I saw 'johnny cupcakes' the shop selling T-shirts rather than real cupcakes as no one really expected. First time I saw this I felt like I'm hungry, wanted to have some cupcakes and I was really looking for the cupcakes but I couldn't! At that time I felt really bad because I couldn't get cupcakes but it was amazing! I totally hooked! Then I realized all T-shirts are on the cupcake plate which is really fun! And their T-shirts are so cute!
It was launched on 12th March 2011 by the way.
This is our building where I've been studying BA Graphic design last 1year and it's gonna be disappear after this summer. I had a look and took some pictures. Our course is on the top of the building. A lot of posters and art works are on the wall, and there are photo studio and print making workshop which is going to be gone.
I will miss this building!
OffSight CSM Pop-Up Show _8-10 June 2011_Exhibition
There was an Off Sight exhibition at Camp near Old street tube station which is by students from Central Saint Martins. There were a lot of great work such as print and bookbinding work. There was a sale as well.
OFF-SIGHT is an exhibition celebrating print and bookbinding work by BA(Hons) Graphic Design students from Central Saint Martins.
Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design is in the process of moving to a new, larger and collective site at Kings Cross. Recently a decision to move the BA Graphic Design print and bookbinding facilities off site to the Byam Shaw building in Archway has been made. Many feel that this would have a detrimental effect on the Graphic Design course, as the workshops are the pulsating source of the course. The Workshops are the space where students and staff exchange and share ideas, create and discuss.
The exhibition reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the course, combining digital and physical practices. We show screen prints, mono-prints, woodcuts, etching, bookbinding and work that has been created during the protest that has been going on since February.
The students hope to recreate the sense of community and creativity that is experienced in the workshops, that will soon disappear from site and sight. from sight and thought.
Alongside the exhibition will be a 3 day pop up shop run by BA Graphic Design second year students, From 8-10 June. The shop will sell a variety of bespoke and handmade products and all funds will go towards the degree show next year.

@Barnet College, Taslima and I (Bluena) had 1st design meeting for the project(Young Design Programme). In the presention, we shown some ideas we got so far, and then we got great feedback.
And we had a look around building of the college which can be going to our design: the brief is simply making plinth inside(display area) the college and infront of the building.
We met our Mentor, Errol Donald(Design Manager of Hogan Lovells International). It was really great time!
He was fantastic!!! and he gave us great advice and he talked about himself, his experience what he learnt from design, client and life, what he think about design process, etc.. a lot of helpful advices.
To summarize what he said, as I remember
-be confident, truly believe myself,
-make it clear with client(agreement, ask them!),
-clear about what I purpose to them,
-summarize what we've done so far.
