Painting update

I travelled home last weekend to get some more of the painting done. This is the most recent photo. I think its going to take one or two more trips home on weekends to get this 'beast' out of the way. It needs to happen soon as I have masses of Uni work to be getting on with!

Design Buddies

Design Buddies is a pilot scheme being started at three universities across the south west of England. Each 'Buddy' is paired up with a relevant industry mentor. In my case, George Beverly from Mind Tank. The purpose and aim of the scheme is to obtain some actual industry advice, wether its feedback on a project, or editing a CV. Its all meant to help us (students) prepare for 'the big bad world'.

The plan is to have four, one hour sessions across the next 6 months with George, all one to one. Work or topics should be prepared before the meetings to help make the most of the hour sessions. All the Design Buddies have had training from Martin Baldwin, who specializes in mentoring, and is doing the scheme at Bath spa.

I really think we will all benefit from the scheme, getting plenty of relevant feedback and advice to take with us in industry. Hopefully something more may come of it (work experience??).
