UTTER BULL-SHOT//

Last Thursday at 12.30 we witnessed the 3rd gathering of the legendary 'Bull-Shot' Eden Riverside studio darts knock-out competition. Tungstens were sharper than Jeremy Paxman's tongue as a group of 20 let fly. It was down to reigning champion Tyler 'Southern Comfort' Lambert to hold his nerve and again retain the golden trophy for another 4 weeks. See you in April for the next session. Until then, may the darts be with you... always.

WOW//

Here we feature a new section to the UoC Graphic Design® newsletter - WOW (Work Observed Weekly). This will feature a UoC Graphic Design® student's work we noticed during the week, that could be finished, in development or merely an ideation we think should be shared. This week we feature the work produced by 1st year (yes, 1st year!) graphics students, Sarah Hashem and George Harrison in answer to the 4D element of the multi-dimensional module which involved developing a music band's identity, poster and short promo animation / video.
