The Fine arts exam is starting on the 3rd floor of the Finlayson campus Last year, our TAMK Media programme was organized into two main study paths for the first time: Interactive media and Music production . This year, our programme expanded with the study path of Fine Art . Also, the name of the programme changed to Media and Arts, and the total annual intake increased from 30 to 48 students. Twenty study places are aimed for the study path Interactive Media, 14 study places for Music production and 14 study places for the study path of Fine Art. As a result of this transformation, we invited for each study path 144 applicants in total. These applicants had got best points at the pre-tasks, prior to the entrance exams. And last week, these 144 people came to the entrance exams arranged on the 23rd and 24th of April, 2014.   This year, we had about ten first choice applicants per seat (almost 500 in total). This is a good result and tells that our applicants were applying to

Last Monday afternoon I grabbed my bag, bought an infamous £3 Tesco meal-deal and headed to the Manchester’s bus station for a 5 hours megabus ride, to attend the annual Future of Web Design conference in London. Future of web design is a world class conferences about web design, but not only. Some satellite subjects such as UX design, system design, animation and web development were widely covered by the 28 speakers. The conference was held at the brewery, a fancy conference hall in a great location in central London. Something I personally really liked at this conference in general was its balance. From one hand, you could get great technical talks about web design (debates about CSS frameworks and why we hate them), web development (great Javascript tools and libraries introduced) and new technologies (CSS Masks, anyone?). From the other hand, there was plenty of conceptual talks about the role of web designers, what design is and new great ideas about what we can all do with it.

A wide selection of contemporary, non-commercial Finnish animations will be screened in four-week sequences in Pori, Finland.

TAMK Finlayson campus is happy to announce in the light of the recent addition to three-dimensional printing capabilities, that the school will merge all current study programmes. This merge will together form the backbone of the new Industrial Design Programme. All film resources currently in AVDB will be auctioned by summer. In Mediapolis we will have a good ground to build a small factory at first for producing student creations. Defence mechanics prototyping already tried and tested in zero floor These creations will be supported by major institutions and companies, most notably the already affirmed client NSA. The NSA has placed a small (500 pcs) order of torturing equipment produced with plastic. Their announcer described the deal by saying how important it is these days to give students possibilities to interact with large global firms and also noted how ecological this approach of using plastic actually is. Green values matter to us and to them. Nuclear warhead core hull struct
