Extended Diploma in Art & Design. Mid Year show - Works Gallery - 2014



Staff and students on the first day of set up at "The Works" Gallery in Birmingham.










Not that you can see from my photos of the private view, we actually had a very good turn out and samosa were a great addition. I can safely say that samosa have become some what of an pre-requisite for our private views and they were well recieved in a some what cold Gallery space in deep Febuary.




The pupose of the mid year show is to expose students to the practice of exhibiting their work within a profesional gallery space. Students also benefit from displaying their work prior to their Final Major Project. It gives them insigts into how they could develop their ideas and concepts and ultimately, display their work to its best potential.

CIC live brief



OUTLINE welcomed the Computing Department of Birmingham Metropolitan College to view students work for the re-branding of their department as CIC -Computer Innovation Centre- they were impressed with the results and chose 6 designs for development and use in the interior of their computer suites, entrance, and stairwell. Designs for the new logo for external advertising and marketing were also chosen. A great success and opportunity for our hard working students with some strong ideas and innovative designs!







The use of "live" briefs is a crucial part of the work at OUTLINE giving students experience of presenting ideas to external clients in formal presentations.
