Blogger unmasked

The original idea with this blog was that everyone studying at the Institute could make posts to the site. This never happened, so there seems no point in 'we-ing' anymore. The blogger is unmasked. Hello I'm Mark, student at the Institute. Nice to meet you.

So this is a now a more personal account of my experiences at the Institute and therefore just a single perspective. Others will see things differently. There, you've been warned.

The last couple of weeks were hard. There was the four day onsite online charrette. Yes that's really what it's called. (See the previous post.) And then there was the Interior Design Show exhibition to put together. This was thought up, designed and constructed in just a week. God but that was difficult.

The concept was a newspaper that describes the Institutes's recent work that is displayed on a kind of 'printing press' stand. There were also print outs to give away. Yours truly supplied the concept and frantically tried to put the content together in a couple of days. A couple of students pitched in big time on content creation and design. (You know who you are, you wonderful people you.) And another team put together the stand which looked awesome.

The opening gala was last night for the lucky few students that had tickets (the ticket story is worth another post but I won't go there as my blood will start to boil). The show runs until Sunday, so pop along if you're in town.

Well that's it. More tales from the fun house soon.
