A special thank you to Amy and Rachel our placement students at 'Seed' for being invaluable members of the team. Amy has worked tirelessly throughout the year to ensure the exacting standards of Design for Visual Communication are met and her professionalism is evidenced by the design work she produced for the Ulster Festival of Art & Design. Although Rachel has only been with us for a short time this dynamic duo have worked over and above the call of duty and we wish them every success for their final year!
20th May - Drawing Unlimited
Drawing Unlimited promotes and celebrates the experimental drawing work of UU students across courses and across year groups.
The Drawing Unlimited Project (School of Art and Design) took place in November 2009 and March 2010. Students used drawing to motivate, challenge, inspire and make links.
The workshops were designed to explore traditional drawing methods alongside digital methods e.g. drawing over still and moving imagery projected onto large rolls of paper, using paint, ink, crayons, pencils, drawing directly onto video footage via a drawing tablet and collaborating with others to devise drawing methods, improvise tools and solve problems.
Very special thanks to filmmaker Brian Davis: brianphilipdavis.com

May is a particularly busy month for staff and students alike with hand-ins coming to an end, the atmosphere is one of relief mixed with panic as students pull out all the stops for the final push. Many white faces evidence the necessity of burning the midnight oil and that's not just the students!
On behalf of all of the staff members of Design for Visual Communication very best wishes to all our final year students. Looking forward to this year's Degree Shows. Keep checking the website as details of this event will be published soon.
