Look after the pennies

I found this lovely little elephant bank at a car boot sale today. I've always wanted a Carlton ware moneybox but they're a bit out of my price range, so this was rather exciting. We're going to use it to save up for something special.

Good things!

This week the results of the YCN's Student Awards were announced and I was commended for my entry! My classmate Dom was also commended for his work on the Open University brief, so we'll both be off to the ceremony in London in September where (I think) an overall winner of each category is announced - correct me if I'm wrong on that. Last year's event looked great!

Degree Show

Last night was our Degree Show private view, and it was great. This last fortnight had been so stressful getting everything set up, painting boards, printing work, mounting, making special envelope boxes for 150 sets of postcards etc etc. So to see it all finished and everyone dressed up was lovely. We even borrowed a RNIB collection dog from the chaps at The District which we re-labelled for our purposes, to raise money for Van-hire to London for New Designers! It certainly added something to the show...
