Starting the Major final project.

Ideas, ideas, ideas....what are yours?

Examples of  pieces from last years exhibition.

After an excellent range of ideas for Major Final Projects last year we ended with a fantastic end of year exhibition.

This year we need to step up your game, by the end of this week we need to have your brief typed up with your theme and a large amount of relevant research.

Over the half term holiday you need to ensure your referral units are completed and you are planned and prepared for your initial sampling week.

So far ideas for themes we have are......What if?......The sub-conscious mind.......product photography....

Congratulations-we have winners.

After some fantastic entries into the International opticians Association competition, Michelle Lyons took first prize with her logo. The use of colour and insertion of a globe of the world was used in an imaginative way to symbolise the company and a re-modernisation of their existing logo.

After a difficult decision choosing the winner, The International Opticians society decided to award a runner up prize to Amy Winson for her simple yet effective logo, which they said was displayed in a professional format showing how it would look as a letter head and on business cards.

Both students are A2 Graphics students at Ashton Sixth Form College and will be studying Graphics at University after receiving offers at their first choice Universities.

Elaine Grisdale presented them with a monetary award and a logo design book to help further their studies. We are proud of their hard work and effort, getting the recognition for this in a live brief from the Organisation.

The college also has a copy of the logo book to help other students interested in logo design, this can be found in the Graphics library if anyone fancies a sneak peak.

Get entering these competitions!
