Amelia’s Magazine | UCA: Design, Branding and Graphic Media Treat Yourself Graduate Show 2011 Review

UCA Design Branding graduate exhibition 2011 review-Treat Yourself
I was very impressed by the UCA branding #treatyourself at the Free Range shows. Black and white stripy bags that called to mind the traditional candy striped ones for sweeties lined the walls on the way to the second floor exhibition space at Free Range. And inside visitors were enticed to take a bag in which to pop their collected business cards.

A great idea when multiple trips to shows can result in a bag full of random bits of paper and a very confused mind. I knew about Treat Yourself because I saw it bandied about on twitter a couple of days ago, thumb so it’s a shame they didn’t keep the social media promotion up a bit more over the weekend.

From UCA I was drawn to the work of Sean McCarthy, who decided to tackle the Alzheimer’s with these arresting posters for A Scar on Memory Lane.

Star Bright is a children’s book from Kirsty Martin that deals with the topics of death and grief. It follows the story of two friends, Rascal the Raccoon and Ruff the Fox and was inspired by the loss of Kirsty’s own mother. She hopes that it will help children who might find themselves in a similar situation.

Infographic by Alex Dickson.

Has anyone else noticed the rise and rise of the infographic? These visually impactful ways of sharing potentially boring data were particularly prevalent at the UCA Maidstone show, which combined graphic design and visual communication disciplines. My favourite finds are below:

Anthony Boyle used bright graphics with a retro feel to compare the needs and wants of consumers.

Roisin Carr used delicate pastel colours for her Rosie Lee branded tea packaging – bound to appeal to the many young tea drinkers with a love of all things vintage.

Ruby Cooke‘s love of the print process was evident in screenprinted t-shirts which layered stencilled layered images that warranted a second look – hands wrapped around an apple, a heart, a tooth looked curiously like the leaves of a Swiss cheese plant!

I was very intrigued by minimalistic work by Oistros Dimitriou, who represented the destruction of his Cypriot cultural heritage with delicately ripped maps on panels of white paper. My photo does not do his beautiful work justice.

Luke Stallwood used fanciful circus type to create theatre poster inspired graphics in a series entitled The Observation of Unintentional Idiocy: things we wish we hadn’t said…
