Each year, Homefield College run an inclusive skills competition for their students to design the corporate Christmas card for that year. The standard of entries is always very high, but for 2021 the standard was particularly impressive.
Students across all learning pathways take part, whether that’s part of their creative sessions or in their spare time for fun. Staff encourage students to be creative and experiment with different techniques and media. Thanks to equipment provided by the Ian Karten Charitable Trust, which is now held in the Vocational Centre after the closure of enterprise Sip & Surf in 2020, students access a wide range of art, design, craft and digital media techniques. Most recently, students have been learning about graphic design and becoming familiar with the software Adobe Photoshop.
The Senior Management Team were really impressed with all the artwork submitted, but one, in particular, stood out. The winning card, designed by first-year student Jamie B, showed an excellent grasp of graphic design, photo manipulation and digital composition. He used the techniques learnt in his Digital Media sessions to independently construct a beautiful design.
Congratulations go to Jamie for applying his learnt knowledge so well for the competition, to create such an original design that blew the SMT away. Well done to all who entered, and we look forward to seeing the fantastic range of work produced for Christmas 2022.
