Design displays work at 2015 "Hope" breakfast for Breast Cancer Institute, Westmead
This year we celebrated our 10th year of working with the Breast Cancer
Institute at Westmead Hospital. The Design section have been producing
Hope posters for the annual charity breakfast celebrations providing
inspirational artworks and imagery of patients, doctors, nurses and
support staff associated with the Institute. The breakfast is a fund
raiser for the Breast Cancer Institute and it is also a platform for
raising awareness of research and treatment developments.
Again, Helen Clare worked tirelessly to make sure all posters were completed on time and ready for display. One of our ex Graphic Design students, Shayne Cocks, was the official photographer for the breakfast and was kept busy throughout the breakfast and then after taking photos of people for next years Hope posters. Thank you so much Helen and Shayne.

"Hope" Banner Design and People's Choice Award winner at Breast Cancer Institute Breakfast 2015
This years Breast Cancer Breakfast for the Westmead Breast Cancer Institute
was again decorated with fantastic designs produced by our Graphic
Design Diploma students at Nepean Arts and Design Centre, Western Sydney Institute TAFE for the tenth year running. The imagery and text showed in the posters reflected the theme of "Hope" and displays patients, doctors, nurses, support families and community support groups that are associated with the Breast Cancer Institute at Westmead Hospital, reflecting their vision of "Hope" for a fantastic future and support for breast cancer research.
As always, a
People's Choice award was given to one of the poster designs that the audience
felt had the best overall design appeal. This years Designer was Mica Blanco who began his Diploma studies early in the year.
A second congratulations goes to Mica also as her overall banner design was chosen by the staff at Nepean Arts and Design Centre as a template to show all student designs to be displayed at the breakfast. Congratulations Mica and thanks for your wonderful design.
