7 graphics graduates win in Creative Conscience Awards 2020

Seven graduates from our graphics courses have had success in the annual awards. The Creative Conscience Awards inspire and train creatives to channel their talent towards meaningful campaigns. They encourage communication around social, sustainable, freedom and wellbeing projects.

Winners: BA (Hons) Graphic Communication

Kirsty McKinlay, Asha Wilson and Elliott Moore won gold for their collaborative project ’10 Years of Shame’. Their project aims to highlight what Universal Credit is and what the flaws are. The project highlights the impacts that continue to be ignored by those in power and explores how it all relates back to the number 10.

Chloe Turner won two silver awards. ‘ACT’, a disability social media campaign that encourages people to make small changes to their lives.

Her ‘Climate Crisis’ project is a single typographic poster, illustrating the effects of climate change. The poster is screen printed with thermochromic ink which responds to temperature changes. When the poster is artificially heated, it reveals more stark information about the climate emergency.
