The corridors of Cardonald College's Graphic Design Degree rest on the eighth and first floor of Moss Park Drive in Glasgow. It's a young course, and with this publication, I hoped to pass down advice to the first years that I had drawn from my lecturers, classmates and peers. What are the lessons we still learning today, what opened doors to us?

The brief we were set was in the format of the ten commandments however, the tone I set was not to preach but to highlight the joy and journey that we had all taken. Connect, collaborate, research and pave your path, it's a beautiful journey and my hope was to assist those just beginning to find their feet on the 8th floor of Cardonald College.

The format had to be accessible to anyone and should show what could be done with simple materials at a low cost while adhering to the rules of Design. It had to be editable, interchangeable, customisable an open source for students and teachers alike. The Google font's and paper sources were accessible to all, and the publication could be printed easily on the college resources. All the body copy was written by myself bar one interview, selected quotes and the Em, En, Hyphen descriptions.

I take such pride in my class and fellow students and aimed to create an identity, and publication that reflected that love for my college.
