Why advice to sink in slowly?

The title refers to the goal of passing on personal advice in a creative way - which has the potential to hold your interest so the advice needn’t feel relevant straight away, but can sink in slowly and be there to help out later on.

Where did the idea for the project come from

Inspiration panel by Chris Stonehill

Two years ago, a friend mentioned how she often asked her grandmother for advice and wisdom, something had never done and immediately regretted.

This stuck in my mind and it turned into the premise that all graduates can think of a piece of advice they wish someone had told them as they started on their course, but are unable to pass that advice onto other students, where it has the potential to make a difference.

Can I buy a poster?

Yes, poster designs and a new postcard pack are currently available for sale from our shop.

I’d like to get involved, but do I have to pass my advice on in the form of a poster?

Get in touch, with the move onto the web, we can now welcome submissions of advice films, audio and written content too.

What are you looking for from contributors?

However you are passing on your advice, a simple premise applies:

Go personal, dig deep for your advice and tell it how you want it to be told.

Do I have to be a UCF graduate?

Now the project is moving online it’s possible for artists, designers, writers, etc from around the world to pass on advice in a creative way.

I’m delighted that Daryl Waller is the first guest artist.

What are you plans for the future?

We’re building a website for the project, looking to develop a strong blog which follows the student to graduate transistion, working on project merchandise and will be approaching other Universities to join the project soon too.

More details ASAP

    A message for John Stanbury!!! Hi John, it’s Mo in the Students’ Union at Woodlane Campus. I just wanted to tell you that your posters are flying out of here like hot cakes! They are extremely popular, so popular that I have had to save a few for those who have not yet picked them up. All the staff are going mad for them too. So well done, all of you. Perhaps we should think about selling them for you in the SU for a nominal sum?
    Please come in and I will give you a bottle of Real Ale to say thanks!
    Mo

    What a fabulous idea. I’ll have to take some time to look around in more depth – and then buy some posters. Great!
    I came across this site via MySpace wanderings that ended with Kate Illustration –> Dave Bain –> here.

    Best wishes
