NTU Art & Design Book 10/11
“The Manual for Creative Action” is the deliberately unconventional title of the new Nottingham Trent University Art and Design Prospectus - a book that encourages creative growth, personal development and self expression. The book is differentiated throughout by a series of statements and slogans such as ‘Sharpen Your Pencil’, ‘Love Your Imagination’ and ‘Wear Your Ideas’.
I personally love the treated type on each page and how it fits so well with the copy.

Cerise Doucede’s series Égarements features candid portraits with a bit of a twist. The images are frozen moments in time, but what makes them special is the apparent lack of gravity.
In each photo, the subjects remain anchored to the ground while everything else floats away. To see more from this fascinating series, follow the link below.

Before I Die is a public art project that invites people to reflect on their lives and share their personal aspirations in public space. Painted with chalkboard paint and stenciled with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______”, the wall aims to create public spaces that better reflect what is important to us as a community and as individuals.

"Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."
Kurt Vonnegut, with your friendly weekend reminder to get creative.
[Quote from his 2006 essay collection A Man Without a Country]
