Hawkesbury Fish Exhibition Banners designed for UWS 2013

Design at Nepean Arts and Design Centre have collaborated with UWS Office of Sustainability to produce signage for an exhibition at their offices that displays fish from the local Hawkesbury region linked with the Aboriginal history of the area. Lapstone Public School were asked to produce artworks to create the Aboriginal history in visual form while Design was asked to create stylised fish imagery to work with the background works. Imagery was combined on two banners which are displayed every Wednesday at the Office of Sustainability UWS Richmond until the end of the year.

Generous students at NADC 2013

One of our Interior Decoration Certificate IV students, Mina Matti, turned up last week with these hampers to give to people from our TAFE who were affected by the recent fires. There was four members of staff who lost their houses in the fire and one had partial house damage to her house. There have been many students who have been affected either directly or indirectly and WSI have organised many fund raising events to assist the fire affected community.

Thank you Mina for your wonderful contribution, it was greatly appreciated.

People's Choice Award at Breast Cancer Breakfast 2013

At the recent Breast Cancer Breakfast, attendees were asked to vote for their favourite poster design. The winning design was by Doug Keating who was unfortunately not at the breakfast so Helen Clare accepted his prize of a $100 gift voucher on his behalf. Last Monday Helen presented Doug with his award. Doug was very happy.

Breast Cancer Institute Breakfast 2013

This year we celebrated our 9th 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 Institute and it is also a platform for raising awareness of research and treatment developments.

This year again the the students provided a great range of posters to decorate the breakfast event. The posters show many of the attendees at the breakfast so there is always a great interest in what creative designs students can do with images of people and sunflowers to promote Hope.

Again, Helen Clare and Anita Nau-Kleinmann worked tirelessly to make sure all posters were completed on time and ready for display. One of our 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.

Interior Design Students meet celebrity at Bunnings 2013

On Thursday 24th October evening, Shirley Gagin and Joanna Nestoroski took a group of students from Advanced Diploma Interior Design, Diploma Interior Decoration and Visual Merchandising to an even held at Bunnings Seven Hills where TV celebrity Shayna Blaze and the Interior Designer from 'The Block' and 'Selling Houses Australia' was presenting and demonstrating interior decoration tips.

The students immensely enjoyed the very well organised and very popular event. Despite being packed and everyone wanting to have a personal chat and a photo with Shayna, our students still got the chance to meet Shaina in person, have a quick chat with her as well as a photo.
