Many students may be confused about who owns the rights to artwork that they have created at SCAD. Five different students may have five different conceptions of what the policy means. Because of the confusion, the administration is considering more “clear-cut wording for ownership of student work,” said Dean of Communications, Bruce Chong.

Even though history courses are offered through a variety of majors, only courses taken through the art or architectural history departments count towards art history elective credit.

At many colleges and universities across the country, summer sessions are much shorter than their counterparts during the regular academic year. This summer, in addition to the regular curriculum, SCAD will also offer courses at an accelerated pace.

For Valentine’s Day, we here at District didn’t want to bring you the same tired article about STDs, cheap dates or being single on Valentines. You’ve already read all of those numerous times in numerous publications. So, this year, we decided to ask you to share your love with more than just your significant other, friends and family.

Most SCAD students have probably heard discouraging comments from their friends and relatives such as: “Art school?!” “What are you going to do when you get out?” “Are you going to be able to get a job when you graduate?” What’s worse is some students may actually believe these negative sentiments.

Monguzzi is one of the heavyweights of Swiss design, but compared to Max Bill, Armin Hoffman, Josef Muller-Brockmann, Karl Gerstner and the other heroes of Swiss Modernism, Monguzzi is a tangential figure: he doesn’t quite “fit in”. His work has a lyricism and a diversity that, despite its common ancestry, marks it out as different from the mathematical severity of the high priests of Swiss Modernism.

Swiss born graphic designer Bruno Monguzzi, famed for work for clients such as Musee d’Orsay and Pirelli, has just received the distinction Royal Designer for Industry.

There was a wonderful moment during Bruno Monguzzi’s recent lecture to Central St Martins students and invited friends. The great Swiss designer was warning of the perils of fashion. In his rich and musical accent he made the point that, despite the fact that every season fashion designers add a new twist, a hat remains a hat and a shoe remains a shoe. He advised his audience not to be seduced by passing fads and to concentrate instead on the fundamentals: the essence of things.

He trained in Geneva in the late 1950s, and in 1960 moved to London where he studied typography, photography and Gestalt Psychology at St Martins and LCP. He then returned to Milan to work at the famous Studio Boggeri, run by the musician and designer Antonio Boggeri; he later worked in Canada and the USA, before returning to Milan and ultimately Switzerland, where he has remained ever since.
