The Chartered Society of Designers visited Dunstable College on October 11 to present graphics students with their certificates and other benefits for their wins in the Student Awards 2006. This exclusive society boasts as its members the leading practitioners in their field in design, fashion and fine art. It was incorporated by Royal Charter and has as its Patron HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.
Three students from their second year of the Foundation Degree in Graphic Design and Advertising have won awards; two (Gemma Loosley and Gary Loveleock) receiving Commendations and one (Paul Blow) receiving an Acknowledgement.
Representatives from the Society visited the College to hand out certificates, do a presentation about the Society and their own work and present the students with free Membership of the Society for the duration of their studies. The winning students will also benefit from being able to attend the Society’s workshops and free seminars, plus receive their designer magazine. The primary benefit to students, however, will be that they will now be able to establish links with top design professionals, which will serve as a major career boost for them.
Course Team Leader Malcolm Jobling comments, “This Chartered Society win broadens and enhances the good links that we already have with industry. This is fantastic for the students and proves that once again we are attaining the highest standards in graphics, which are being recognised by the country’s leading practitioners.”
