Central Saint Martins Create Super Messages

On the city-end of Shoreditch Highstreet, the Nicholls and Clarke building (its claim-to-fame of being the scene of a Jack the Ripper murder) played host to Central Saint Martins’ BA Graphic Design degree show.

The CSM acronym was embodied as the loose theme for the show. It’s best seen on the website homepage-  2011.csmgraphicdesign.com where visitors can create a message around the CSM initials which then becomes the first thing the site’s future visitors see. Here’s the uncensored list of the good, the bad and the fascist messages that have been submitted so far sionfletcher.com/popover/inspect.php

Taboo subjects temporarily caused the pop up box to be disabled illustrating once-again that the rebellious days of the college are far behind it. The 2011 version of Saint Martins is summed up pretty accurately in Jess Morgan’s ‘Old School’ Angst/Learning/Love interviews with students morganland.co.uk/  

Now for the work- as s CSM Graphic Design 2011 graduate myself- they’re my fellow peers so I’ll try and be objective- here’s some of my favourites:
