Mary-Lou Owen - Graduate Success
After graduating at The University of Wolverhampton with a BA (hons) in Design for Multimedia I moved to Lowestoft where I became a volunteer at ‘The Crossing LEAP Centre’. The Centre helps people to create CVs, job search and it also provides teaching in basic IT (I walked in by mistake looking for the volunteer centre, and became a volunteer there myself and have been happily helping out for the past two years). I also undertake freelance graphic work whilst volunteering. This includes being asked to create an interactive CD for the The Crossing LEAP Centre. The CD is used as a digital handbook that is given to each client to explain the services that the centre has to offer. The disk also provides useful web sites/links and details of the courses available.
Since graduating I've had some wonderful comments about my skills and my work, some of which I would like to share to with readers of this blog
“Mary-Louise offers some very attractive skills which I’m sure will be of significant benefit to future customers/employers which I would be very happy to endorse in this testimonial .”
“Her skills around I.T. publishing and animated filming software were absolutely incredible.”

Freebox success
Readers of this blog may recall earlier posts about Freebox, an initiative by MA Visual Communication student Dorothee Schmidt.
http://www.visualcommunicationwolverhampton.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/free-box.html
http://www.visualcommunicationwolverhampton.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/free-box.html
"The freebox is a concept designed to change our behaviour and attitude towards commodities and the throw-away-society. By breathing new life into an item simply by changing the owner encourages a sense of connection, plus it stimulates and enhances the value of items. The challenge is to promote recycling, reusing and repurposing instead of always buying new." says Dorothee.
After a very successful trial period in the School of Art and Design foyer, the new home of Freebox in the University is the Student Union reception - main site Wolverhampton. Why not take a look at Freebox and if you have something you no longer need but others might, then bring it - or if you see something you like in Freebox, then take it.

Graduate Success - Kamaldeep Chana
"Their products are for sale in stores including Asda and Sainsburys. Natural Food Selection has been running for a few years and has expanded every year. Instead of outsourcing their design and artwork they wanted to employ an in-house designer and this is how I came to the company. I am the only designer at the moment but I have big ambitions and would love to build a design studio.
I will be mainly designing packaging, but I'm currently working on the company show stands for upcoming food festivals. I just finished designing competition stickers with Universal Studios to be connected with the film 'The Lorax'. These stickers will go on Natural Selection products." says Kamaldeep

Valentina typeface
Valentina is a beautiful typeface designed by Pedro Arilla
"Valentina typeface is a sincere tribute to my grandmother in the form of typography and therefore bears her name. Valentina is a classic didone that follows some of the canons proposed by Bodoni in the eighteenth century but incorporates many of the characteristics of the antique Spanish punches of the time. It is a complete font of 457 glyphs, in which there are 125 alternative lower cases or the 46 ligatures."says Pedro Arilla
The font is available to download for free from http://pedroarilla.com/en/valentina with option of giving a donation

Logo competition - International Center for Women Artists
At UNESCO’s 36th General Conference (November 2011), history was made. For the first time ever, the 194 Member States of UNESCO came together to approve the creation of a new project, the International Center for Women Artists – ICWA. The decision makes it the first museum and arts education project that has formally been approved by all of the Member States of the United Nations from its conception.
The Center will be located in Amman, Jordan, but will be the home for the work of contemporary women artists from around the world. ICWA will have both a permanent collection of art, as well as temporary exhibits. It will also have a travelling exhibit that will bring ICWA’s work to those who cannot travel to Amman.
The Center will also have artists in residence, and will have space for live performances, film and lectures. Working with major technology partners, ICWA will also be present online, bringing its collections and art to people around the world via internet.
The Center will also have artists in residence, and will have space for live performances, film and lectures. Working with major technology partners, ICWA will also be present online, bringing its collections and art to people around the world via internet.
The main idea of the Center is to create a place at the crossroads of civilizations – in Jordan – where free expression, education, culture and art are welcome and encouraged. The idea of peace through art has been at the heart of the ICWA project from the start.
The deadline has been extended to the 15th May, but entries are to be submitted digitally.
Images must be jpeg only, resolution 72 DPI, with maximum picture dimensions of 550 x 550 pixels and a file size no greater than 1 MB (uncompressed).

Taiwan International Design Competition
The Competition is entering its ninth consecutive year and has already cultivated an extensive international reputation.
In addition to encouraging more imaginative and innovative creations, it also hopes to use current trends to inspire designers to engage in more profound philosophical and humanistic reflection. This will allow designers to not just be confined to an 'object' itself, but to incorporate a return to life's subtleties within their design concepts.
In addition to encouraging more imaginative and innovative creations, it also hopes to use current trends to inspire designers to engage in more profound philosophical and humanistic reflection. This will allow designers to not just be confined to an 'object' itself, but to incorporate a return to life's subtleties within their design concepts.
"Design is a kind of magic from the heart of the designers. Observing the subtle psyche of consumers, and giving expression to their needs"
This is just like people from the Orient who use the smallest seal to make their greatest commitment with their heart. Likewise, simple and easy steps are employed to complete a complex and difficult operation, employing minimum resources to create maximum effect.
The competition is open to:
Designers; teachers or students of design related departments or schools; people interested in design. (With no restrictions on nationality and age). Participants can join the competition as individuals or in teams. There is no limit on the number of entries.
Entry Categories
Product Design, Packaging Design, Visual Communication Design, Digital Multimedia Design.
Entry is free

Registration deadline is 15 June with submissions needing to be with the organisers by 27 June.
