The Bridge’s collaboration with BA (Hons) Illustration students sees the recruitment of creative talent to undertake unique paid work experience. Attending internal and external events, the students document the event, live, through illustration.
The project provides a unique and engaging addition to events, as well as a personalised visual output for the client. The students gain paid work experience whilst developing skills in visual synthesis, working under pressure, confidence and networking.
  • Fusing the University’s creative talent with academia, organisations and businesses in order to exchange ideas and expertise.
  • Providing a unique and impressive addition to internal and external events.
  • Providing event organisers with a personalised digital output to be used as marketing material.
  • Providing a supportive space for the students to take on paid, professional work in their field of interest and expertise.
