Style guides and the next brief
Hi,
I hope you are all getting on well with your brief and you are managing to juggle the style guide brief with the contextual brief. I'll have a look at both on Monday, please bring them both in for then...
The next brief, it will be short because of the length of the style guide brief. I have a few ideas of what we might do but what I'd like to do is ask you all first. What type fo brief would you liek next? Any suggestions, please blog...

Structure of handbook
Hi Papillon and Ollie!
Wow, our first image on the blog! Hooray! Do you use flickr?
To answer the questions:
1. The front and back of the handbook will be front and back cover and can be of what ever design you choose. As for the wording, it should say something like: Pathway Handbook, Foundation Diploma and National Diploma Studies, UCCA (you must spell this out in full University of the....) and the year of study 2005/06.
2. The book can be bound by a low-cost system - as single sheets put in a plastic envelope, or bound with an elastic band or stapled. Remember that your pagination should be worked out -do this manually. Pagination is the structure of your pages one after the other. it becomes complicated the more pages you do.
Hope this helps,

UCAS reminder
For those of you doing route A you need to sign off your personal statements by tomorrow. This is my last day to do your references. I won't be able to action statements after that date unless already agreed with me for particular circumstances.
For those of you that have done them and put them on UCAS, they are looking good and your references have been written.

Flying the stuff in...
For those I haven't got the word out to yet: I'm arriving back on the night of the 10th. Managed to get my hands on some Genuine Communist Propaganda and various other bits and pieces. Hope I won't be missing too much.

Zines
To help you understand the format of your pathway handbook - think of it in terms of a zine. Read the text below or look at the link provided.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Zines)
A zine—an abbreviation of the word magazine—is most commonly a small circulation, non-commercial publication of original or appropriated texts and images. More broadly, the term encompasses any self-published work of minority interest.
Zines are written in a variety of formats, from computer-printed text to comics to handwritten text (the most famous example perhaps the eponymous work of Aaron Cometbus). Topics covered are broad, including political, personal, social, or sexual content far enough outside of the mainstream to be prohibitive of inclusion in more traditional media. The time and materials necessary to create a zine are seldom matched by the sale of zines. Small circulation zines are often not copyrighted and there is a strong belief among many zine creators that the material within should be freely distributed. In recent years a number of photocopied zines have risen to professional status and have found wide bookstore distribution. Most notable among these are Giant Robot, The Comics Interpreter, and Lollipop.
