Post Legges and Wye Valley Visit & Q+A

The group went off to both Legges butchers/delicatessen and the Wye Valley Brewery yesterday [26th Oct] to look over samples of both Legges chutney's/mustards etc as well as the Wye Valley Brewery. At Wye Valley Brewery we were shown around by managing director Vernon Amor followed by a useful talking through of the brief set and an opportunity to ask related questions one to one with both Vernon and WVB marketing director Jennie Hermolle. 

There was a wide range of questions asked by students from [getting the Clever Trevor award] "does daylight affect the quality of the beer?" to more straightforward and to the point queries about the brief and requirements or goalposts to work between.

Some pictures of the group's visit to Legges in Bromyard below:

Natural Packaging Ideas

Following on from this afternoon's string, oranges and cardboard work I've just put the ones sent to me so far on the blog.. Some nice ideas, although a done in light it does make you appreciate the challenges of wrapping round things following on from today's natural packaging discussions.

GDES3003 for 2011 - Welcome!

We're off again and we're starting by initially looking at the two areas that help form much of the background to the module's genesis - those of Climate change and Peak Oil.


This year we're getting all the cohort to use blogs as learning journals in line with the nature of the module and the additional flexibility this will give to highlight ideas, imagery, videos etc as well as personal research and ideas.


Some great discussions ongoing to day about both subjects - especially so from Ida, Kaska and Dom [to name but some].


Look forward to seeing the outputs from task 02 in next week's session.

Final Prototype Student Eco Packaging


“We are frequently faced with new materials, new tools, new clients and new audiences to reach… For most designers, green issues are just another set of new challenges. The possibilities are exciting, but it won’t be easy for any of us to master them. The important thing to know is this: Sustainability will define our era..”
