Tablinum Posters

This assignment provided us with the task to provide a sleeping and dwelling area using minimal materials. The main concept behind my design was to carve a jigsaw puzzle shape out of each block to minimise the use of bonding materials needed (in this case most likely mortar).

Display Names

Can I just remind you all to keep to the Display Name protocol of 2A-2008-firstname-familyname (as some have). Can those who have not used this protocol please change their Display Names.

If I can not easily identify you as a 2A-2008 blogger I will not be able to asess your blogging. You will therefore not receive credit for posting.

Thank you - Richard

p.s Happy Easter
