HND Graphic Design students Jennifer Grieve and Sam Haynes were in London last week, with tutor Helena Good, to attend the annual DMA Awards.
Jennifer and Sam were shortlisted in the DMA Breakthrough Award - which recognises emerging creative talent from the UK's Universities and Colleges. The pair picked up the runners' up spot and did some valuable networking, raising the profile of the course and doing Edinburgh College proud.
This is the second year in a row that we've had student work shortlisted at this national-recognised industry competition. As well as attending the awards event, Sam and Jennifer presented their design solution at the Proximity Agency for the client (The Economist).
