A design for life

A design for life

The Finalist Directory 2009/2010 is out now in our careers services and personally I have found the new cover design completely distracting – in a good way! The winners of our design competition, Moira Gil and Sonsoles Alvarez, have made a list of 170 things to do post-graduation, including:

34. Go to Walden Pond and read Thoreau while drifting in a canoe
65. Overcome your fear of failure
136. Paint the Big Apple red
147. Milk a cow
163. Spend three months getting your body in optimum shape
 

It is wonderfully creative and I bet if anyone did do half these things it would enrich their life no end. Pick up a copy in your college careers service to see the full list, as well as receive valuable advice on graduate job-hunting and postgraduate study!

I will also be dashing about making podcasts and videos on Tuesday, so expect lots of new media in my report on the fair later this week!
