College Students Officially Selected for London International Creative Competition
Creative Arts students at Coleg Llandrillo are celebrating after their end-of-year digital illustrations project was officially selected for the 2021 London International Creative competition, beating off stiff competition from around the world.
The nine students are studying on the Art and Design Foundation, AS, and A-level Graphics courses at the college’s Rhyl and Rhos-on-Sea campuses. Their collaborative project - entitled ‘Portraits’ - was recognised in the ‘Illustrate (Graphic)’ category and is an eclectic collection of portraits and self-portraits,
The students created the digital illustrations using a variety of software, on tablets, laptops and computers. Digital illustration forms part of the students' coursework, leading to university application.
College tutor Dewi Hughes, who is a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Designers with 40 years commercial graphic design and education experience, said: “Showcasing creativity on the world stage is a quality experience for our students, ahead of their university experience and the world of employment.
“I would like to congratulate the whole team of students for their inspirational project. It has reaffirmed the international recognition for Creative Arts that we have here at Coleg Llandrillo.”
The successful students are: Matilda Crossley from Conwy; JD Dearden (Kinmel Bay); Caitlin Millership (Rhos-on-Sea); Hollie Williams (Colwyn Bay); Jade Thomas (Old Colwyn); Bobbi-Lea Wood (Old Colwyn); Fflur Mai Mercer Roberts (Llanberis); Evie Roberts (Rhyl) and Bethanie Morrlle (Gronant).
London International Creative Competition (LICC) brings together the most cutting-edge and innovative artists and designers from around the world onto a single international platform. Each year it welcomes thousands of entries from creatives from over 80 countries around the world.
Its mission is clear: recognising and rewarding the world’s most fresh and progressive creative talents from all around the world across six main categories: Architecture, Photo/Video, Art, Graphic, Interior and Product Design.
