So, the SUBU awards were the other week. This is basically a night were people who have contributed to the student union get some acknowledgement for the work that they have done over the year. This years awards were different to previous years, with all areas of the SU under the same roof rather than having separate award nights for each.

I wasn’t able to go to the awards (in actual fact I didn’t really know anything about them until the afternoon before!) but as it turns out I won an award for working on Nerve Magazine. I was awarded the “Dedicated Designer” trophy. It’s a really nice glass engraved trophy and has pride of place on my window sill at the moment! haha.

I have designed every issue (barring one where I was on holiday for the deadline – Jan 09 issue) whether I get the articles a week in advance as its suppose to be or the day that its meant to be going to print. I’m a reliable designer! And enjoy the work that I do most of the time…having said that there is only so much that you can do for the sport section (zzzzzz)!!

I’m hoping to continue designing into next year, which will be my final year, and hopefully it will help set me up for a career once I finish. There are new changes coming to Nerve Magazine next year…it should be big and better so watch this space!
