Students commissioned to create artwork to go on display at cinema

Graphics Year Two students from West Suffolk College who are studying the
UAL level 3 Extended Diploma in Art and Design – specialist area Graphic
Design, have been commissioned to create artwork for an audience based on the film industry.

The “Director’s Cut” exhibition has been granted showcase space by the Abbeygate Cinema, in Hatter Street, and will be on display at the cinema following a launch
event on the evening of Monday, December 3.

Students have been asked to produce a series of three film posters on a film director of their choice and design alternative film posters. They have been briefed to consider type style, composition and the message they are trying to convey through their artwork; one of their three
pieces will then be selected for the exhibition which will run for two weeks and judged during that time with the winning student being awarded a prize from Abbeygate Cinema.

Abbeygate’s marketing manager, Andrea Holmes, said: ‘We are absolutely delighted to be working with students of West Suffolk College again and happy to offer exhibition space in order that their artwork can be displayed and enjoyed by the general public. ‘Director’s Cut’ is a great fit with us and we hope that this collaboration provides an incentive for high achievement by the students.”
