Twestival Logo Winner

Thursday 24 March is Twestival Day, and one of our HND students, Gill McColl, has won a competition on Twitter to design the logo for Edinburgh's Twestival event.

Twestival is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date.

Over 200 international cities from Buenos Aires to Bangalore, Seattle to Seoul and Hong Kong to Honolulu have participated in Twestival.

The event uses social media to connect communities on a single day, and this year Edinburgh Twestival is raising money for St Columba’s Hospice, with 100% of tickets sales & donations going straight to the charity’s rebuild project.

Learner Conference Logotype - Inspire!

In between their Induction Brief and their first Mentor brief, HND Year 2 have just completed a short live brief for Edinburgh's Telford College.

The College are holding a Learner's Conference in November, and the brief was to create a logotype based around the Conference theme, 'inspire'. The class had to present their logo ideas, and then take some interim client feedback into a second round of development. The concepts were then whittled down to four examples, and the final idea was selected by letting College staff vote on the visuals.

Anita Wroblewska came out the winner with her funky hand motif and a casual script typeface. Anita will get £75 worth of artshop supplies, and of course we'll all see her work around the College in the near future.
