DNA SUCCESS

Posted by Jennie Spiller

Last week the Designers Northern Alliance (DNA) exhibition took place at The Triangle in Manchester. The two day event was ‘designed to bring together representatives from industry and academia from the North to develop closer links and share ideas on best practice.’
It was a great success for both graduates and employers and looks set to become an annual event!

It was also a success for UCLAN with Mike Potts winning ‘Best Graphic Design in Show’ for his Rolling Stone self initiated project…

The project is a series of information graphics archiving the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs and Albums into song length and year of release. The basic premise of the piece is to look visually appealing, yet when approached, become engaging and provide a catalyst for conversation. Something the knowledgeable readership of Rolling Stone magazine and music lovers in general would find captivating.”

Cheryl Poyser was also commended in the ‘Best in Digital’ category for her ‘Is facebook pointless’ project.

Congratulations all round!
