YCN Student Awards Ceremony 2015


As part of our Responsive module, Bex, Joe and myself took on the YCN competition briefs. Bex and Joe took on the Fedrigoni brief, whilst I the Pan Macmillan brief. Commendations were announced officially on their website on the 4th of June. When I saw my name on the list, I was utterly excited! - I was actually shaking. I was really proud of myself! Told my family too in our family group chat, and they all showered me with unlimited use of excited emoticons in their messages - I felt extra loved that morning hahaha.. (I think there were a total of 5 students from Leeds College of Art who received a commendation.)

On the 2nd of September, we attended our very first official awards ceremony at the London Barbican Centre and Conservatory! I felt so so honoured and grateful to be able to experience such things! I feel so much more motivated to do well with my career. During Level 6 I want to take on more live and competition briefs for a chance to experience this once more. I also think that it is a good way to get yourself out there.

All commended work were exhibited after the presentation ceremony, and it was really interesting to see other people's reponse to the same brief - just shows how diverse we all are and I was really impressed with how professional they all were! I was amazed! Overall, a memorable night!

Where am I? There I am :)
