Donkeys hit the news, for the wrong reason
July 14th, 2011 · Ric · No Comments
The recent Guernsey Press article shows how the actions of a small minority have affected plans for displaying Guernsey’s Donkey Parade to a wider audience. Vandalism means that all outdoor sites are now sadly being reviewed to avoid further damage. Keep an eye open for details on changed locations.

UK Government Gets My Vote
June 3rd, 2011 · Ric · No Comments
The alpha of the future gov.uk website is a user centric tour de force. The site is still under heavy development but has been released early to generate feedback which is vital for such a revolutionary design. Hit the homepage and you aren’t overwhelmed by crowded navigation and one thousand options, instead there is a friendly, Bing inspired search box. This clever hits at it’s use and offers a couple of examples, and when you type it rapidly offers suggestions. Type in book and it offers book a driving test, renew a library book, book a sports facility etc. All very diverse but all of them are tasks — actions to be performed.

Cruising in Guernsey
May 31st, 2011 · Chris · No Comments
Guernsey has become something of a magnet for cruise ships in recent years. It certainly provides a spectacular sight, when majestic beauties such as the Grand Princess drop anchor off St Peter Port, almost overshadowing nearby Herm Island.

Wordsworth and the Guernsey Donkey Parade
April 14th, 2011 · Paul · No Comments
After much thought and deliberation we have decided to name our donkey Wordsworth. Wordsworth will feature the well known (for graphic designers) Lorum Ipsum place-holder text which will wrap around the donkey to accentuate its shape.
Due to the nature of our business and the charity involved in the Donkey Parade, GALP, we felt that this was a strong solution.

A student’s view

Don’t go back to university, warn employers
As AS and A2 levels loom for a large number of Guernsey students, thoughts of ‘life after school’ are also not far from mind. As one such student currently at school in Guernsey, I have decided that three years of working within a company, possibly gaining relevant qualifications and training within a business will be a better use of my time rather than spending time at university. I hope to work in marketing after completing my A levels in the 6th form and have found that in this field not having a degree will not necessarily hold me back, the graph above taken from from Laura Luke’s article ‘Breaking Into The Career Field Of Marketing’ (About.com Guide) shows the amount a degree is used in marketing which can be seen as both interesting and encouraging.
