One of the College’s most promising Graphic Design students, Rachael Camp has really hit the ground running after successfully completing BA (Hons) in Graphic Design awarded by the University of Kent.

Rachael has secured a place on an MA in Graphic Design at the prestigious London College of Communication, part of the University of Arts London. Speaking of her time at K College, Rachael said:

‘This year has been very hard work, but at the same time a very enjoyable one. I'd had great support from my tutors this year, who have been so helpful, and given me encouragement and good advice.

One of the highlights of the year has been writing my dissertation, which at first was very daunting but I found that once got started it became much easier. I chose to write about politically motivated graphic design, as I wanted to look at one of the ways graphic design is used for non commercial purposes. I looked at the situation between Israel and Palestine, the Iraq War and other case studies and analysed the way that different people are using art and design to express their views and opinions, which don't always surface in western media. I really enjoyed having the freedom to create work around issues that really interest me.

I am really excited about beginning my Masters in January 2012, as it will allow me to explore some of the themes I have started to look at on the BA in further depth.’
