Social Issue Project

As designers, students are encouraged to develop an active interest in global issues and an understanding of the impact design can have in the communication of these topics. Students had to research the broad topic of 'Globalisation' and respond to one aspect by producing a poster and one other item to support their campaign. Students produced all photography used for this project.
