OUR STORY

“Unlock” challenges the confines that often restrict creativity, spotlighting the remarkable outcomes when emerging designers are given the freedom to explore without limits.

This Grad show celebrates the dismantling of barriers, heralding a new era where the talents of up-and-coming creatives are not just recognized but amplified. By incorporating a graffiti inspired aesthetic, we pay homage to the raw, unfiltered power of students.

STUDENT WORK

As a collective, we have found ways to stay connected and remain inspired throughout our academic journey. As individuals, we have cultivated a unique approach to our craft and stay ahead of the constant creative upturn to cut through the noise of the dynamic digital domain and build the mindset and drive needed to stand out above the rest.

GRADUATE INTERVIEWS

We welcome you to share some academic reflections here, with a selection of student interviews that invite you into the mind of what it’s taken to push through some capricious times and to succeed as a creative scholar in 2024.

“In first and even second year, I lacked confidence surrounding my work as a designer and struggled with receiving feedback. However, I have learned to push myself out my comfort zone by engaging in more peer reviews and tutorials. Doing this allowed me to understand that not all feedback is bad, and even bad feedback does not make you a bad designer. We as designers never stop adapting and improving, and sometimes this takes receiving critiques”
