CNC's New Media and Communication Design students are presenting their best work of the year and at an open house Thursday, April 21 at Exploration Place at 7 p.m.
The showcase features work of both first-year and graduating second-year students in the hopes of educating the public about their craft.
"I am quite excited about the quality of the show," said New Media and Design instructor Kim Stewart. "On opening night, the second-year students will be showcasing their portfolios, hoping to discuss their strengths with potential employers. The first-year students have designed information panels that discuss the meaning of graphic design, design history, publishing, multi-media, web design, creative writing, and illustration. Along with those panels will be original student work on display in each area."
The second-year students have just returned from a 10-week practicum with companies from around the city. Logo designs, ad concepts, Flash media, website design and multimedia presentations are just some of the work that will be presented.
Also on display will be work from the Fine Arts program. Many of those pieces are now part of the CNC's student art bank.
"The Fine Art students have done some amazing work this year that includes dreamscapes, journeys, and investigations into composition, colour, shape and form," said Stewart.
The show runs for two weeks and is on display at Exploration Place, 333 Becott Place in Fort George Park until May 5. It's open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
"I highly encourage potential employers and people who have an interest in creative work to check out the talented students in these two programs," said Stewart. "It's guaranteed to be something of interest for everyone."
