SLC Graphic Design students design for silver screen

February 08, 2008




Students from SLC's Graphic Design program competed to develop marketing materials for the Kingston Canadian Film Festival. Their task was to develop the feature marquis poster, ad campaign, website, brochure, t-shirts, hats, program guide, etc. The winning design is now featured on promotional material for the high profile event.

This competition is part of the Design Your Community project and is integrated into the curriculum for the third year students. For the past four years, students have designed the marketing material for the Kingston Canadian Film Festival (the largest Canadian Film Festival). The Festival director presents the strategic brief to our students, who then develop a concept and design solution.

The Design Your Community project has been a major project for our graduates portfolios, as well as being very effective at generating interest in SLC and the Graphic Design program.
