Wednesday 2nd: exhibition day at No.70 Oxford Road, one of the buildings that makes up 'Cornerhouse'. A fitting location for a pleasure end to a great events week. The undergraduates were able to interact with the public further and showcase their final outcomes. Polly and Vicky were both able to attend and show their support.

Friday 20th: managed to talk to the manager of the Grand Central pub and discuss the project with him. He then permitted us to put some of our flyers in the window, visible to the high footfall passing by. This pub stands as another one of Manchester's historic buildings and is in close proximity to Cornerhouse.

Photo taken within the bookbinding workshop on 15.03.18. As part of our research into creating our final comic book pieces, we decided to check out the possibility of using risograph printing. Described as digital screen printing, the final outcome can be a very sophisticated piece. It is also good for mass production which is something that could be useful if we intend to hand out some of the comics to the public too. We were shown examples of work and the capabilities of risograph printing.
