YCN Student Awards shine a light on creative talent
Two students at Bedford College have received
awards that will see their designs showcased for international
brands featured in the Young Creative Network (YCN) Awards.
Facing tough competition from major Colleges
and Universities across the UK, Terry Moss and Laura Wills will
have their work displayed on the YCN website and at a prestigious
Awards evening at the O2 Arena in August, where they will receive
their awards.
The awards for innovative creative design were
won by Terry Moss for Bacardi and Laura Wills for Hovis.
Terry and Laura are HND Graphics Year 2 students.
Both students had to come up with innovative
ideas to meet the briefs from international brands Bacardi and
Hovis. They can be summarised as:
Bacardi - “help us flirt with our fans and
adorers”
Hovis - “build on the love for our brand and
its heritage by creating a range of branded Hovis merchandise”
Sue Blackman, Director of Centre for
the Arts, said:
“This is an outstanding achievement for our
students and it's superb to see Bedford College amongst the top Art
& Design University courses in the UK.”
“To have one award is excellent but to have
two from one course shows the high standards that are at the heart
of our arts courses and achieved by our talented students. I
congratulate the students and course team on the awards.”
The YCN Student Awards shine a light on new
creative talent and are based around a collection of live creative
briefs. Work is produced across all media and represents the
finest creative talent for commissions and collaborations.
Terry and Laura have set a high standard
for creative excellence and are applauded by Bedford College
students and staff.
