Royal College of Art in London has
courses in painting
and much more
is a student of
that's working with is
studying computer design let's find out
about their studies I'm studying a
course called computer related design
which is a two-year course leading to a
master's degree in design I've been
studying since September 91 and
I'll July this
year in short the course is about making
computers easier to use that's that's my
job in our society we using computers
more and more as a part of our work
routine and it's come down to people
like me on our course to think of more
interesting ways of
machines computers more effective ways
and perhaps more ways I am
studying for an MA in at the
Royal College of Art I've been studying
for nearly two years now this is my
final year the first year we do quite a
lot of project work and then throughout
the summer holidays after the first year
we have to write a and then in
the second year we have a
where we have to put up a show and talk
about our work for an hour and then we
have a big show where the public come to
see what we've made
I'm working on a project at the moment
which is basically making a large piece
of I've been working on it now
since the beginning of September and I
started the project by making large
from drawings of myself and the
is made up of pair of arms and
a pair of legs and they're very large
and they're going to be in
very very bright colors and they'll be
set against a background
in the end I will present it for my MA
it will be part of my show I'm
presenting some and also as a
complete contrast to that I'm presenting
a range of whose colors and
forms will reflect the forms and colors

completely different things but which
relate to each other
what are and Rob's ambitions
do they know yet yes I really would like
to get my own studio but to start with I
don't think I'll be able to afford it so
I will have to get some sort of job
whatever it is I may have to be a
or work in a bar or or
something to get enough money together
to get my own studio but that's what I
ultimately would like and to
working in galleries and exhibitions I'd
like to be part of a general movement I
think to to make technology a really
fundamental and useful part of our daily
lives and there's a big push in
computers at the moment to develop a
small and personal electronic
products that will really be useful to
people's lives that they will really
find and get pleasure from perhaps I
think that people like me on my course
have some of the answers to making those
products more more
more friendly
well I hope that achieved
their ambitions how long have we been
working today since nine o'clock this
morning that's eight hours
I think that's long enough so do I
