Illustration students published in OWT

OWT creative is a four strong design collective based in Hope Mill, Manchester. The latest issue of OWT magazine is available (issue 12), It features work by twenty two different Northwest creatives as well as the members of the OWT team on the theme of 'Voyage'.

The publication is well respected in the industry and some of the work selected to be printed comes from our very own Mark Mottershead who graduated in 2011. First year student Celia Hume, has also been selected to feature in the magazine. Celia's work was the result of a college project based on 'Sinbad the Sailor'. Her image was inspired by this and entered for the publication. It is the first time that a first year student has been selected to have work printed in such a prestigious publication. and to feature alongside established  creatives and  well-established designers and illustrators.

HALLE FOR YOUTH 2012

Students from all levels on the Foundation Degree in Television Production undertook the televising of the

annual "Halle for Youth" concerts with the world-renowned Halle Orchestra at the Bridgewater Hall in

Mannchester.

The concerts attempt to engage schoolchildren with the work of a symphony orchestra and have been

running annually since the era of Sir John Barbirolli - this was the third year we have televised them - live -

to a huge screen above the orchestra itself. For us, it represents a televisual challenge on a par with the

annual BBC Proms.

First year students operated cameras whilst second year students  undertook the challenge of live multi-camera directing with each student working alongside musical specialists from the Halle to

devise a workable camera script for the occasion. 

The Halle are keen to continue and extend the collaborative partnership in the coming years, with plans to live-webcast next year's concerts.
