well this is interesting . . my own preference would be not to have some stupid image of a stupid building . i mean neo-georgian monster cottage does us no favors . . an image of a workshop in progress or an Oxmag reading or something like that would be much more interesting but i'm guessing that we don't have one handy . i mean the program is about people and not about a building and it's even more about a community of people working on creative projects and engaging / conversing with each other

i'm moot on the list of our names and visitors . i DO think that people choose to go and work with particular people . our names might not be on the tip of tongues but they say a lot about the kind of program that we are presenting . as does the list of visitors 

but i'll bow out on that one . . i wish wish we were not in such a rush to cobble something that might do us no good whatsoever, when it could have struck an alluring note

I don't really think students associate the experience with names so much as content/offerings (at least not until they meet you guys and see how awesome you are). Generally an ad is meant to catch attention and give basic information, drawing the person to a website or contact to gain more details.
