We are delighted to hear that Jack Eaves, one of our former student’s concept art was featured in a recent ImagineFX issue. Jack is currently studying on the Design for Games degree course at Plymouth College of Art and has been working hard to improve his concept art since he studied on our programme at City of Bristol College. Well done Jack!

Our show this year, to roll out the final year of the ND Interactive Media course before it becomes the BTEC Extended Diploma in Interactive Media with Game Design, was to do a performance at Hamilton House, Stokes Croft.
All of our students worked collaboratively with FDa Interactive Multimedia and ND Music Tech Students to provide interactive visuals through the use of Max/MSP and Jitter which would sync with live music performances.
Hamilton House proved to be a great venue for multimedia performances and it was interesting to see how the students were supportive of each others work as they all worked collectively, even beyond the requirements of our brief. But the most important reason for involving students in a live performance was to give them the chance to see their work connecting directly to an audience and allowing interactivity to come from the audience and in the words of Marcel Duchamp, “the audience create the artwork”
The End of Year show this year is in collaboration with FDa Interactive Multimedia and ND Music Technology at City of Bristol College at Hamilton House, Stokes Croft, Bristol 6-9pm. You can find out more about the event here. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=217118034976114
We also have a website for the event. Here is the link http://www.undesign.co.uk/studentshow2011/
Our students will be providing live visual interactivity to a collaborative work being performed by music technology students. The whole event is being coordinated and project managed by the FDa Interactive Multimedia students who will also have their work on show.
Here is an example of a recent piece of student work for our 3D animation project. It was created by one of our students who has now progressed onto the Foundation Degree in Interactive Multimedia with Graphic Design at City of Bristol College
Please see the poster below for the final show for our second year students. We are also putting on a virtual exhibition of work which can be found in the link Student Show 2010 in the right side menu on this page. The link will be accessible on Monday 28th of June
This site is a work in progress. Each year we ask the students to help design a theme for wordpress to use on this site. This is our current redesign and our intention is to revisit the design process each year and involve all the students in the design process.
The students learn dreamweaver as part of their course and group together to build a theme by spliting into a design, developer, usability and content group and discuss what is required to build a theme. They also get the chance to build a site for a client so that they have an website which they can add to their growing portfolios.
Each student on this site will soon have examples of their work and links to portfolios elsewhere on the Internet.
Please have a look around and get in touch if you like what you see.
