Christmas logo
December saw Queen Alexandra College’s (QAC) usual logo get taken over by a specially designed Christmas logo created by one of the college’s IT students based in its Karten Centre. Not only did Zachary decide to create the logo he then submitted it through the appropriate channels with the request of it being used during the festive season. The college happily agreed the request and adopted the new logo on all social media outlets during the festive period.
Zachary enjoys using his digital and design skills and has also been working more recently on app creation. He is based in the Karten Centre at QAC which delivers level 1,2 and 3 qualifications in Information Technology courses where students are able to explore areas such as web design, databases and spreadsheets applying knowledge to art and design, computer aided design and computer numerical control to name a few.
QAC is an independent college for 16 to 25 year olds with learning difficulties and disabilities.
Creative Media students visited by a Script Coordinator
As part of Career’s Week our Creative Media students were visited by William Hughes, a Script Co-ordinator for Marvel Studio projects. He spoke to our students about his journey into the industry and even showcased a couple props from the Ghostbusters film he had worked on.
The students had lots of questions to ask him about the industry and were very excited to hold/wear the props Will had brought with him, the students found the session very informative and he helped answer questions about their future aspirations.
William stated that “QAC is incredibly invaluable in a world where there’s not enough’. Our creative media suite is based in the Karten Centre which was originally funded by the Ian Karten Charitable Trust.
Massive thank you to Will for coming in to QAC today to talk to our students!
