The OCAD Student Press is pleased to announce that we have just released the third installment of our Shift series entitled Shift:Approaches. It is our most comprehensive publication thus far, featuring work from all design disciplines at OCAD and it’s on sale now at the OCAD Bookstore (Rm 317C in 100 McCaul St).

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, we are now looking for new contributors for next year’s Shift publication. For the most part, our publications focus on 4th year design thesis work because these students are already well invested in an interesting and unique design idea and have research and process to bring to the table. But this isn’t to say that we do not accept 3rd year submissions. In fact, some of our most interesting contributions over the past three years have been from non-thesis students.

When it comes down to it, we are simply looking for passionate, committed and driven students to contribute essays that explore new and interesting approaches to design. We have never imposed a theme upon our publications because part of our goal at the OCAD Student Press is to showcase how diverse the world of design truly is and how elastic our processes can (and should) be.

Because we know how hard it is to accommodate everyone’s schedules we will be holding meetings at the OCAD Learning Zone (113 McCaul St, to the right of Wiki Hut as you enter from McCaul) at 7pm from Monday to Thursday next week (October 26th to 29th, 2009). Please drop by on any of those days to learn more about contributing to the next Shift publication.

Thanks for your time and we look forward to seeing you next week.

We are pleased to announce the release of our latest publication, Shift:Approaches, edited by Gordon S. Grice, designed by OCAD graphic design graduate Mike Dudek and with a foreword written by Mark Kingwell. We could not be more pleased with how it turned out.

It is now being read widely by both students and instructors at the Ontario College of Art & Design and is also available at Swipe Books on Advertising and Design in 401 Richmond, just east of Spadina Ave.
