Advertising Standards

Most of what a professional Graphic Designer does is related to promotional, marketing and advertising work, in which case it is good to know what is allowed in advertising, and what is not. The Advertising Standards Authority regulates this, and you should be aware of the legal issues surrounding advertising. Check out their website which contains some really easy to understand information.

Exhibition Ideas

I'd love to see more interactivity at the 2010 exhibition - things to pick up and use, interact with, try out. Does anyone have any ideas for things like this?

Here are my ideas:
  1. Augmented Reality - see examples
  2. Kaleidocycles
  3. Books
  4. T-shirts
  5. Masks
  6. Jigsaw puzzles
  7. Video games
  8. Touchscreens (anyone know if we can hire these?)
