Will Roach - Design Society

Design Society

As Chair of the Design Society in my final year of university I redesigned the identity of the society and co-ordinated between students, staff and members of the design community to hold some fantastic events.

This page contains some photographs and information about the events I helped run none of which would've been possible without the fantastic committee who worked on top of their studies to organise them.

Talks

One of our goals this year was to showcase wider range of designers and creators from the industry. Over the year we had specialists from all areas of design. Identity and branding, editorial and print, information, animation and typography each provided a unique insights into the design world.

Exhibitions

Our exhibitions provided an amazing opportunity to get involved in extra projects and show off our members talent to the rest of the University. Our first exhibition (The Initial Exhibition) focused on members designing something that reflected their personality using only their initials. Our second (Recycling Old Ideas) was done in collaboration with the Student Union and has based around sustainable design.
