A project brief was given in October to the Art & Design Foundation Studies students, to create a panel of illustrations for a Williams Estates window display on the theme of Home is where the heart is, with a Coronavirus Covid-19 twist, if possible.
Coleg Llandrillo have been working in-partnership with the estate agency for about 15 years now and have produced many window displays in that time. This year's display has been entered in the 2021 Paris Design Awards Competition (winners announced in April / May).
To encourage the students with this commercial project, a prize will be announced towards the end of the course.
Jason Williams, proprietor of Williams Estates said "The Foundation students have captured the project message to great effect. It's a snapshot record of today's world. A combination of digital and traditional techniques of drawing were used during lockdown. Great work."
Dewi Owen Hughes, Creative Arts Lecturer added "It is a worthwhile experience for our Foundation students to see their creative work in a commercial setting. A quality addition for their portfolios ahead of university interviews, and the world of employment."
"As a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Designers, I fully support such links with industry, as I believe that realistic work projects greatly enhance the experiences and future employability of our students. The students have gained so much added-value to their studies by working on a real job."
