Artwork, by Graphic Design student Hannah King, has given colour and focus to the staff relaxation space at the offices of TAG Farnborough.  Second year student, Hannah, was chosen from a shortlist taken from over 70 submissions from other students, who responded to the Brief from TAG Farnborough.

Brandon O’Reilly, CEO TAG Farnborough Airport said “Community engagement is very important to us.  We are keen to support young people in developing their skills and talents and we were impressed with the high standard of competition entries.  The vibrant, winning piece of artwork produced by Farnborough Sixth Form College student Hannah King, is now on display at the airport.”

Principal, Simon Jarvis commented “This is a fabulous outcome and another reason why the partnership which exists between TAG and the College is so valuable.  We were honoured when Brandon approached us with this demanding brief to enhance the new TAG building.  Staff and students responded to the challenge magnificently and Hannah's winning design is so impressive: sympathetic to the environment, professionally executed to meet the needs of the client and most importantly has that 'wow' factor!  All in all, an experience which serves to reinforce how strong the creative arts are at Farnborough.”

Hannah said of her winning entry "When we were given the Brief we were asked to take inspiration from Sol LeWitt, due to the brightness of his work.  I was also inspired by plane propellers, designing the geometric shapes around their fluidity and angles. . Entering the competition has consolidated my aim to follow a career path as a graphic designer and has benefited me in many other ways.  Being selected to have my work displayed looks amazing in my portfolio for university interviews."

Ben Hasking, Subject Tutor, Graphic Design at the College added “Working to a live brief, for a local business, provides a great opportunity for our students to get experience working for a real client and understanding their requirements.  Not only is it good experience, it provides students with an opportunity to see something they have researched, planned and created come to fruition, in this case in the form of a 10 metre wall vinyl.

Hannah is a creative and conscientious student whose work successfully met the Brief.  Her work stood out from 70 submissions as being exactly what the client was after.”
