For god's sake, Mrs. Robinson. Here we are. You got me into your house. You give me a drink. You... put on music. Now you start opening up your personal life to me and tell me your husband won't be home for hours.

With all the graduate shows on around town at the moment, who could blame us for being, you know, like, in the mood. Stop blushing, it's cool - you can stop telling everyone you're ‘just here to see the work'. Tell them you're just here to see The Works.

Honours students from RMIT's school of Communication Design run their own studio called The Works, and they'll give it to anyone who asks. Their end of year exhibition, Yolk is on at the moment and it's worth checking out, not least for the jewellery inspired by biology (frog foetus ncluded), the paper toys you can print out, colour in and make yourself, the monster plush toys, and the re-jigged famous movie sequences. Plus websites, folio work and motion graphics.

Be humbled by the graduates; just don't ask them how it was. Oh no, Mrs Robinson. I think, I think you're the most attractive of all my parents' friends. I mean that.
