Last week, Chris Platt & Paul Rose of Rapport visited
the College to meet this year's graduating graphic designers from the BA (Hons)
Design & Visual Arts course. Rapport are an ideas led events agency based
in the heart of Manchester.
Chris and Paul showed the graduates a range of work from
their portfolio including clients such as Kelloggs, Adidas and Astellas.
The graduates were shown a body of
work that reaches beyond the traditional realms of a 'graphic design studio'.
Rapport's use of and need for graphic design skills was prominent in every
events project shown. Throughout the course, staff continually encourage
students to be innovative and adaptable in the changing climate of the creative
industries. Rapport's perspective further enhanced the need for this in
relation to employability.
After their presentation, Chris and Paul conducted
portfolio reviews with the graduates. One of our final years students will be starting on
a placement with Rapport over the summer.
"We think smart ideas which involve your audience
and capture their imagination is ultimately what will inspire them to do great
things."
