Well done Maria

Congratulations to CSN Graphic Design student Maria Costello who designed the College Night Course brochure. Maria’s design exhibits a high level of design skill and attention to detail. The design of the booklet involved a lot of hard work and co-operation with the Night Course Dept. This is a great achievement for Maria to design a brochure to such a professional standard having completed a one year course in Graphic Design at Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa.

We wish Maria good luck in the future from all at the Graphic Design Dept.

Arts Administration Students get the BACKSTORY

Seventeen 2009-10 students of Arts Administration at CSN have begun the process of Planning and Organising the 8th annual Art and Design Exhibition, BACKSTORY, opening at Cork Vision Centre@ St. Peter's in February 2010.

With the CSN student art and design work already selected for the show, AA students have been led in an "exhibit title" brainstorming session, by CIT graduate in Graphic Design, Paul Delaney. Emphasising team working, allowing the entire class to explore possibilities for graphic design "interpretive planning" for the exhibition - hundreds of words, branching off of the title "BACKSTORY" were splashed across a classroom white board. Everyone participated.

Project Managers for the exhibition are Tadgh Crowley, LSAD graduate and Caitriona Considine, graudate of Cork School of Music. They will delegate jobs to the other class members.

Management skills, Customer Service, Marketing, Exhibition Techniques and Design, accompany the inherent "nurturing of skills" necessary for successfully dealing with the public - creatively organising the hang, the opening, weekend programming and tour guiding throughout the month of February 2010 will be fulfilled by the motivated group.

Hands-on, practical modules are a hallmark of this innovative course. CSN Arts Administration is validated by CHNTO, UK, formerly the Museum Training Institute. Watch this BLOG space.
