I've signed up to help organise a post-grad research conference for next year and we had to come up with an over-arching theme that would lend itself to everything from fine art to criminology, languages to politics. My idea is 'Control + Shift' due to it lending itself to tech-y projects but also getting into the whole idea of power (which is something that the social sciences guys appear to be into in a major way). So this whole concept could also be viewed as a reaction to the change of government plus its suggestion of 'The Big Society' - yet I reckon there are still a multitude of interpretations.
With all the research and teaching, I've missed doing "design" and, because I also prefer to explain ideas visually, I mocked up a Call for Papers poster to show to the rest of the team. I thought I'd stick it up here too.
Previously the committee spent a decent part of the budget on colour copying. Personally, I reckon this would be more interesting to screenprint.
Mmmmmm, screenprint.
Also met up with Dave and Nicky today as we'd arranged to put in our Masters theses for binding. It was good seeing them: we had lunch and a bit of a moan. At least, I did the latter. Happy days.
