Designs of the future on display

Where can you find a wearable communications system? An artist鈥檚 studio for the outdoors? A Thai cultural centre? Or a Down鈥檚 Syndrome awareness campaign? Innovative designs for these and many more projects will be on display at the University of 海角直播鈥檚 annual Design Degree Show. The show is open from 10am 鈥� 4pm on Thursday 6 June 鈥� Friday 7 June and again from Monday 10 June 鈥� Wednesday 12 June at the Centre North East, formerly Corporation House, Albert Road, Middlesbrough (opposite Middlesbrough Town Hall).

The show will display final-year students鈥� work from the following University of 海角直播 BA (Honours) degrees: Design Marketing, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture & Design. Among the works on show will be a project by BA (Honours) Graphic Design student Emma Jameson. Emma, 21, from Peterlee, has designed an identity for a fictitious Sushi bar. It鈥檚 been a busy year for Emma, in addition to designing the bar鈥檚 identity she has also clinched 拢250 for third place in a national book design competition and designed a poster to publicise the degree show across the region. Her poster was selected from 50 student entries.

Emma won third place in the Macmillan children鈥檚 book competition in May. Her entry evolved over two months, and focused on 鈥楯ack and the Beanstalk鈥�. Emma has produced her own illustrated version of the story, placing an emphasis on scale by contrasting images of Jack with the giant.

Emma said: 鈥淚 selected 鈥楯ack and the Beanstalk鈥� as it鈥檚 a story that everybody knows, I remember it well from my days at infants school. I was so pleased to win; I couldn鈥檛 believe it and I鈥檒l be spending the money on a summer holiday. The skills I鈥檝e learned during my three-year course at 海角直播 helped me to succeed. Undertaking projects in design areas such as typography, illustration and multimedia has given me a vision for the future.鈥�
