Hello, lo, how are you? Only short news today, because we are all very busy. It was the last day to finish all projects, all songs, all performances and everything we do. It is THE SHOW tommorow. THe Big Show, Presentation and stuff.

In design group we have a deadline untill tommorow 11 a.m., because our design profis have to take all our works to printing office to have it all printed. And you know it is not like that you just push one button, printing job takes a lot of time too.

That’s why all design agencies tried to make everything ready. Except of some our brothers, it took all our time and energy. Designing posters, puting together leporelo, finishing a booklet, preparing presentation, making another posters, drawing pictures, discussing, scanning, editing all on computers and Apples (because it is no PC, it is even no computer, but some strange machine looking like computer), etc. That’s design stuff :) . Enough talking, let’s see it.

4. day – desing group

It was the real working day for design group on Wendesday. They have finished looking for ideas and started to work on their design projects. But before it, there was some very useful criticism by Martina. She said, she didn’t like just to talk about things anymore, that she needs some action. And that she needs to be said, what to do. It was a shame she didn’t say that the day before, when it was actual. Because, you know, everyday :) we carry on something call evaluation of the day. It means that each of us can say, what he/she liked or disliked about the day. And everybody was happy and satisfied yesterday. Anyway, suddenly we saw that there are more people like her, who don’t like many things but are not used to express them publicaly. Like Martina said – At school we are taught not to say anything, not to criticize anything, but to listen a do what we are said.

Hence we came to this: “School is evil. Destroy the school. Long live Lanterna.” :evil: We like criticism.

Than they continued with Peters presentation of his design karma – what was his motivation to study, how did he get to work in design, where did he studied design and so on. You know for a sprayer :) quite impressive.

The three agencies that developed three different projects – there is the antirasism poster project by Healthy Armageddon, Zazziboo project by 4funers and Love project by The Papayas.

3. day – design group

OK, here we go for the third day. As you can imagine everything is just fabulous. Everybody is happy, there are no problems at all. We have a lot of nice meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner and even marvelous cakes in the meantime.

It was quite busy day for design group today, because they worked on a real thing. They tried and managed to create a t-shirt design, i mean like for real wearable t-shirt. This design is actually not finished yet, boys are still working on it right now. But it wil exist. Our own creation. YOU WILL SEE!

At the beginnign of the day, students created 4 design agencies – The Papayas, Armaggedon, Health 4 you and 4 Fun agency. At the end of the day there are just three of them, because they found it useful to merge Health 4 you and Armaggedon agency into Healthy Armaggedon agency. Only for those who don’t know – agency is a group of people who work on design solutions for their customers.

It took them whole first part of the day to finish it, but it will be worth it. In the end all of students presented their ideas and Thoms tried to show them what is good and what they missed about real design work. I must say it was so interesting that I will remeber it for very long – especialy explanation of the steps agency must make to create something.

Last part of their work – one agency – 4 fun continued their work on t-shirt design and and the other two started to work on their corporate design (it means all inclusive) for themes love and healt/family.

What happens next? Only Thomas and Peter know.

2. day – design group

We started at about 9 o’clock after lavish Grosshed breakfast with very very much funny warming ups. Especialy the Dragon, old woman and knight game (for czechische leute – it’s like stone, scissors and paper game, only played by 2 groups of people instead of hands) amused everyone.

In the first part of our work day we saw and heard presentation about design called “Was ist design?” by Peter and Thomas. Thanks to excellent translation by Alicia and Misha we could hear about and discuss diffrent kinds of design, use of design, connection of design and normal life and so on.

After our second magnificent lunch we went, inspite of strong wind and mild rain, outside, into a grove situated near Begegnugscentrum in the field to concentrate and find out ideas we would like to design. From many many ideas that came to our minds we chose four: health, family, entertainment, love. Each of these topics will be designed – graphicaly, digitaly, … – by four design agencies we created.

In the end of the day we evaluated our days work a were looking for fun.
