Women of the Hour is a magazine that sets out to raise awareness and provide a platform for women in the design industry, that are often overlooked. The magazine provides awareness about the historical and contemporary inequality that still affects women in design today. Women of the Hour is also an educational resource available to people who work in design agencies, to help provide more awareness and create positive change in the way women are treated. Annie Turley aimed to create something that would be striking and engaging to its reader by using a ‘vintage-take’ on a modern-day editorial.

Commissioned by Hospital Records, Jonny Carr has produced a music video for Skyline, a new single from Metrik and Grafix.

For her final project, How Punk impacted Graphic Design, Rosie Smy chose to transform her dissertation into a stunning publication heavily inspired by zines and 1970s punk culture.

The use of analogue processes brings this publication to life and demonstrates the amount of experimentation that has been incorporated into this project.

Shaun Curtis plays on nostalgia in his final project, reimagining Top Trumps by bringing a digital focus to the game and proposing an immersive experience that launches the Top Trumps we know into the present day.
