Did anybody go and have a look round this years New Designers at the Business Design Centre???
The product and environmental design stuff was pretty good but I wasn't that impressed with the graphic and new media stuff. There where a couple of outstanding students that I spoke to but the rest where pretty average...
Any thoughts...

i saw the show.. yes you are right, the new media work is very very weak, some nice print stuff and very nice product design ideas.

last year was the same, dunno what's going on. either the government is leaning too hard on the unis or the standard of teaching is slipping.

do you not think its degree shows in general that are getting poorer and poorer?

well I think it's obvious what's happening. The standards of people on courses are slipping because the business-like policies of Universities insists on churning out as many people as possible regardless of quality. I went to a couple of shows this summer and the standard on graphics courses was atrocious, I don't know what these people are thinking.

i think there are far too many similiaries out there, designers are getting more lazy and partly copy other peoples work

rasko, give us an example. Was it "my oh my that kerning is a bit off!" terrible or "bevel and dropshadows" terrible?
