YOYP Xmas Alphabet

We had Whitespace in a couple of weeks ago to run a guerilla day for their Year of Young People project. Whitespace briefed 60 students (also including a class from Napier University) to each take a letter and create a festive themed alphabet. Chris Brohl and Niamh Curran came in to R310 and  over the course of the day the students put together a set of creative letters.  Everything was top secret, given that the results were goign to be used on real Christmas cards.

The resulting alphabet was used to send out letters to Whitespace's clients, friends and supporters. You can check out the results of the project, and read more about it here.

Launching Inspire!

Today we are launching 'Inspire' - a project for S2/S3 school pupils across Scotland.

The pupils will take on a brief to design a CD cover.  The project is in five stages, running until the first week in May, and we'll be posting up learning materials, instructions and research ideas onto our projects page each week.  The students can use these resources as they work through each stage of the design process.

The Schools Project is an initiative promoting collaboration between FE and Secondary Education in Scotland, and funded by Edinburgh design agency Threebrand and the Scottish Government's Developing the Young Workforce (DYW). 

Two of our current HNC students, Holly McNie and Niamh Curran, are College Ambassadors for the Schools Project, and they are visiting schools in Edinburgh doing workshops - here they are at Broughton High -
