Did you know that the Learning Zone holds a collection of Art & Design Annuals?

With publication dates from 1922 onwards, this collection represents historical content as well as contemporary titles.

A variety of annuals and yearbooks in a range of topics including advertising, graphic design, illustrators and photography are available as a reference resource, here at the Learning Zone.

So come to the Learning Zone to read, enjoy and create!

Welcome to the Re-usable Dish Exchange program — a new campus initiative jointly created by Greening the Grange and the OCADU Learning Zone. Have a better meal experience, by using dishes instead of styrofoam or plastic.

Students, faculty and staff can support this green initiative, by visiting the Learning Zone to borrow cutlery and plates for their meals in the Grange food court.

Here’s how:

• To borrow cutlery and plates, leave a piece of ID with a Learning Zone staff member
• After your meal, come back to the Learning Zone, wash your plate with the environmental friendly dish soap and scrubber, provided in LZ washrooms
• Return plate to retrieve your ID

The Learning Zone staff spoke with a number of OCAD University student groups to find out what’s happening outside classes. This is this the first installment of these interviews.

A series of graphic design posters were exhibited illustrating the student’s knowledge and skill on design aesthetics applied to content and message, and the impact on form and communication.

A concurrent video exhibit was included using sound, typography and image.
