We have just produced an exhibition publication with Fieldwork Folio – the large-scale mapping project uses our Foldedsheet poster format. The publication documents a series of journeys using the Saxon Shore Way in Kent.
We have just produced a double-sided full-colour sheet for explorer Alastair Humphreys – he may be a well-seasoned traveller, but this is the first mappazine Alastair has commissioned…
There Are Other Rivers: One Day on the Road/On Foot in India is a photographic journey interspersed with insights and thoughts. Alastair Humphreys walked across southern India, following a holy river from the ocean to its source and then down to the other coast. Travelling alone, immersing himself in fresh experiences, the adventure provided time to reflect on his long fascination with the open road. Humphreys explores two different themes: the allure of difficult journeys and the repeating rhythm of each individual day.
A longer version of There Are Other Rivers is available as a print book and a Kindle eBook.

side 2 On Foot in India
The mappazine is available to buy directly from Alastair’s website.
Alastair has been named as one of the National Geographic Adventurers of the Year 2012 – read more about it here.

Again this year, universities shared a print run of the LearnHigher Generic academic year planner 2011/12. For all those who are not studying at the universities who ordered them… we had some extras printed and have added them to our online shop.
We have added another notemap to our range – the Storyboard sheet. This has 60 generously-sized frames arranged over a sheet nearly a metre wide and tall – a welcome addition to the Drawing, Writing and Planning sheets.
Here’s a preview of the layout…

This year we had six universities sharing a print run of the LearnHigher Generic academic year planner 2010/11 – nearly 10,000 were printed! For all those who are not studying at the universities who ordered them… we had some extras printed and have added them to our online shop.
We thought you might like a preview of the new Activity sheet we designed for Kids in Museums. Five hundred of these sheets, containing spaces for drawing and writing, are destined for the winner of The Guardian Family Friendly Museum Award 2009. It will be interesting for us to see what kinds of projects the museum or gallery uses the sheets for, and fun to see how the kids interact with them. The Activity sheet is smaller in size than our Drawing sheets and Writing sheets, but still contains enough space to make some really big scribblings!
Read about the award, and more, on Culture24.

21,000 students get organised this year with the Foldedsheet LearnHigher academic year planners 2009/10.
Funded by participating universities, these planners are given away free to students at the beginning of the academic year… so good luck with the new term and hope you all enjoy using your planners!
For more details, check out the link on the left to our Tumblr archive.
Our planners have plenty of room to jot down appointments, a large weekly overview section and lots of space for notes. Carry it around with you like a diary, stick it up on the wall to see what your whole year looks like, or if you are a bit short of space fold your planner and secure with a clip to view two months at a time instead…
you can also fold it to see six months to view, use it as a personal notice board, apply colour-coded stickers, add post-it notes, stick reminders and scraps to it, use highlighter pens, hang it from a clip, tape it to the wall, fold and re-fold it… to work out how your big ideas and projects can be organised.

This is the first PROfile sheet to contain a landscape cover and a portrait spread…
Textures of Time: landscape architecture is an investigation of the exposed surfaces created through mineral extraction at key localities around Sussex. Looking at the connection of these sites to geology, archaeology andhistory, Chivers’ work draws our attention, not only to the physical appearance of the rocks, but also to what lies beyond the surface, as each image has the potential for discovery.

We have been working with LearnHigher Time Management researchers at the University of Reading, to produce a suite of academic year planners with 6 universities in the LearnHigher partnership. LearnHigher also provides a diverse range of online learning resources available to students – our initial contact came through the University of Brighton, who lead the Visual Practices area.
The Generic version (or template LearnHigher planner) will be piloted with 3 of the LearnHigher partner institutions: Manchester Metropolitan University, Nottingham Trent University and Plymouth University, who will all receive 500 each to pilot with a focus group of students.
The image above shows the Generic version, which carries the LearnHigher branding and information about the LearnHigher partnership, including details of web-links to LearnHigher services. This was then modified for three of the LearnHigher partner universities, with university branding, local information, department services, and university or course related dates.
The planner for the University of Reading, uses some modification of the LearnHigher template with logo placement and local info/services added. All students at Reading (10,000) will receive these at the beginning of term…
The University of Brighton, in addition to logo placement and local info/services, also opted to show a visual weekly time-line. All first year students (7,500) will receive one each in their induction week…
Liverpool Hope University opted for logo placement, local info/services, a visual weekly time-line, and the greatest level of modification, including a colour change and course-related details within the daily sections to assist students in planning their time. All level C students (3,000) will receive the planner at the start of term…
We look forward to hearing how the students have used their new planners.
To see all the layouts for the LearnHigher publications, see our Tumblr archive.
Our new Drawing sheet has plenty of space to map out your thoughts and ideas…
Our new Writing sheet has loads of panels to record thoughts, construct essays, plan a novel…
We have made even more space on the sheet since last year for our regular planner…

Explorer’s Drawing and Writing sheets were commissioned by the Brunei Gallery for Julia Winckler’s Retracing Heinrich Barth exhibition. The sheets were used as part of the education programme. School groups, college students and members of the public were encouraged to use them during visits and workshops in the gallery space. The sheets were produced to inspire visitors to map their experiences of the exhibition in pictures and words.

We were commissioned to produce a half-year pilot planner with ‘Study Tips’ supplied by time management researchers in the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at the University of Reading. The university is one of the partners for LearnHigher, a consortium of 16 universities who share best practice in diverse areas of student learning.
One thousand students at the University received a planner in January 2008. Their feedback and comments will be collected and a full academic year planner will be produced for LearnHigher institutions in 2008/09.
Drawing-a-Day foldedsheets were specially commissioned for the BigDraw@Brighton and University College Falmouth. Both events were organised in association with the Campaign for Drawing and LearnHigher Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
selected text from the BigDraw@Brighton sheet:
TheBigDraw@Brighton is a chance to explore and share the role that drawing plays in each discipline and to discover new uses: improving observation skills, reinforcing memory, generating and communicating ideas or mapping structures. The Drawing-a-Day map is a different way of exploring your visual thinking and it’s as easy to use as a regular sketchbook. You can still concentrate on one panel at a time – what’s different is that you can also spread the sheet out to display a whole sequence. Strong enough to fold and re-fold as often as you like, the sheet contains enough blank sections for just over a month’s worth of daily drawings.
Here are some images from the Big Draw events at the University of Brighton and University College Falmouth…
