CNC students showcase original work

Apr 27, 2019 | 9:32 AM

PRINCE GEORGE— College of New Caledonia Web and Graphic Design (WEGD) students are sharing their work with the community during a year-end Design Showcase tonight (April 27). 

The evening includes student work in graphic design, web design, animation, interactive digital media, illustration, and typography produced from both class assignments and practicum placements.

Second-year WEGD student Kyrsia Primus produced an original children’s book, ‘Armchair Adventures: Journey to Rufftonia’ which she will be sharing at the showcase.

Primus was captivated by the stories her grandfather would tell her as a child. Keeping tradition alive, she crafted stories to tell her nieces and nephews during weekly family dinners. 
 
“We were sitting in a big armchair one night so I made up a story about an armchair that turned into a spaceship,” Primus says. “It took the kids off to have all these adventures.”
 
The project challenged her to use many of the skills learned in CNC’s WEGD program. The book’s illustrations were initially sketched by hand and painted in Adobe Photoshop.

“The year-end showcase is a great opportunity for our second-year students to share their hard work with friends, family, and potential employers,” WEGD coordinator and instructor Sean Siddals says. “It’s also a chance for the community and prospective students to see what we do in the Web and Graphic Design program.”
