The archives tell me that Newtasty was last mentioned on here by Pete nearly four years ago. I’ve just spent a few minutes flipping through his Facebook Page and there’s some good stuff on his blog too.

Advice To Sink In Slowly

Chris Unitt — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 08:53:10 +0000

I’d come across Advice To Sink In Slowly once or twice:

an ongoing series of posters designed by graduates for the purpose of passing on advice and inspiration to first year students

but I’m not sure I’d twigged that there are a few contributors from around Birmingham, including Ben Javens, Jonny Costello (whose poster is below), Lee Basford and Luke Tonge.

Simon Peplow and Yee Ting Kuit both studied in Birmingham too. Let me know if I’ve missed anyone.
