FANFARE
P e o p l e i n t h e n e w s , c u r r e n t a f fa i r s a n d r e v i e w s
Summer 2016
Welcome to the 40th Anniversary edition
Legend (Homer, The Odyssey) has it that theatre
managers in Ancient Greece would tell auditioning
performers who claimed they had the hottest
routine in all the Peloponnese, that you’re only as
good as your last show, baby!
Well, maybe not that last bon mot. But as any
self-respecting oracle knows, your future is never
a completely closed book. There’s a divinity which
doth shape our ends, rough hew them how we will.
(Thanks, Will!)
But, truth to tell, there’s been no rough
lumberjacking on this, the third edition of our
groundbreaking Fanfare magazine, which won
plaudits across the University for the first two issues.
Students have excelled themselves. Again this
year, their collaborative brief was to incorporate real-life stories written on the Feature Writing module
into the framework of a real-time publication by
deploying the layout skills learned on the Design
for Print module.
The future is bright for all students who dared
weave this publication’s dazzling tapestry that rivals
even the stars. Which only goes to prove that even
Nostradamus would have hesitated to join the
swinish multitude’s raucous forebodings about the
death of print, etc, ad nauseam...
