Welcome to our latest newsletter.

As lecturers we work hard at maintaining the important relationship between academia and industry, in both theory and practice, in the seminar room and the studio and workshop. However our students and their work; past and present are the most eloquent and compelling illustration of the vitality and success of this association.I hope you enjoy reading the news from current students and graduates about their activities and adventures.

EVENT & EXPERIENCE DESIGN. THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC & FINE ART

Since joining TBA in November I’ve learnt to use many new software programmes. I’ve been to initial brain-storming sessions, created 2D & 3D set designs, worked on pitch documents, artworked graphics for print and sourced items for events. The main projects I have been working on have been for Clarks, Optimum Nutrition and Deutshe Bank. This has been a fantastic experience! (Theodora Marlas- EED Graduate 2014)
