Dan Ingham and Steve Owen are two students who graduated from Stockport College with a BA (hons) degree in Graphic Design. They came to give a talk on how successful they have been when they left. They said that when they were in their second year, they were very lazy when doing their work and wish they did more. When they were in their third year they worked very hard and wish they had done the same when they were in second year. They were very enthusiastic and stayed behind and were in every day. They said they worked on other projects when they were not doing university work. They said they liked screen printing when they were in uni. Also get to know people outside the course such photography and printing stuff, try to do placements in your free time to gain valuable experience. These were the tips given when they gave their talk.
They did the end year posters for the show and it was a big success. They also got entered into the DAND New Blood. They showed some the work they did and I really liked it. It was good to see someone from my college course and made me realise the how much it can be worth it.
