WESTERN SYDNEY UNIVERSITY
BACHELOR OF DESIGN ⋅ VISUAL COMMUNICATION GRADUATION EXHIBITION
"Hungry for Design?" We are too! It’s a feeling very familiar to design students, and we’re not just talking about a burger between class. Our graduation exhibition is about being hungry for more. It’s about having a craving for new and exciting briefs, and having an appetite that can only be satisfied by getting out into the industry. With graduation just around the corner, we’ve had our appetisers and now we’re ready for the main course. So come and see what we’ve been cooking up.
The exhibition will feature a diverse showcase of the graduation class’ major projects, as well as client briefs worked on throughout the year.
The smorgasbord will feature design for print, screen and everything in between. We will be showing projects featuring illustration, photography, animation, web and app design. So even if you’re a picky eater, we’ve got something for everyone.
The Grad Show will show for one night, Wednesday 23rd November from 6pm, followed by industry talks the following day. Please join us to see for yourself what we’ve been up to behind closed doors and celebrate all we’ve achieved.
