11 Dec Student Mobility Program to Peoples Republic of China

This report contains reviews, imagery and personal commentary of the recent Central Institute of Technology’s student mobility program to the Peoples Republic of China hosted by Zhejiang Vocational College of Commerce in Hangzhou.
It has been designed to allow for various entry points into the seven perspectives of the team who have undertaken and reflected on the two weeks abroad, and readers are invited to review each report in no particular order. Each student was given the freedom to document the tour without a constrained framework or agenda. It also loosely offered students the ability to seek truth from the facts.
Unsurprisingly, the conclusion for each student and myself was the same. China is amazing.

Our supa-sized Adv Diploma graphic design group put on a great show last week, complete with ISTD typography lounge room (complete with carpet, hanging pictures, a record player, and a moosehead), a re-modeled Area 57 headquarters where agent profiles, portfolios, posters and alien-size UFO filled the space, and to top it all off, a bumper 128pp Silver foiled top secret catalogue with censored profiles and bios. It was an exhausting, but brilliant job carried out by many individual student passionate about design and dedicated to a strong theme.
A extensive listing of their yearly events, profiles, portfolio pieces and contact details are all available at AREA 57's website and their FACEBOOK page.
