Stand Out From The Crowd

So it’s that time of year again when most of you are embarking on your final major project (FMP) which in student terms means ‘the most important project of college’. This is your time to shine, but how do you do that?

Firstly, you need to choose a theme that will keep you inspired and interested from now until June. You need to think outside the box, think beyond the obvious and choose something that’s not been done time and time again. Be original think of something new or turn something old on its head! Finally, you need to work hard, postpone the social life, be in college before 9am and after 4pm, get familiar with the library and get stuck in in the workshops!

A shark in a tank is no longer a shock, an unmade bed doesn’t make you look twice but at some point in the past this was new, this was shocking. These things made Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin stand out from the crowd. Don’t get lost in between the rest stand out from the crowd, work hard and most of all make sure this is the best project you have done so far!

So if we could offer you one piece of advice as you embark on your project it would be STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.
