Falmouth illustration students visit The Guardian

Nine Falmouth illustration students were given an insight into how editorial illustration is commissioned by Maggie Murphy and Pauline Doyle at the Guardian Newspaper this afternoon. It was a fascinating visit and great to know that our Falmouth Illustration alumni from last year, Thomas Pullin, is still producing great work for the Guardian.

 

 

Students visit Sparks Studio

Five Falmouth Illustration students this afternoon visited Sparks Studio as part of this weeks Level One study trip to London.

Sparks is an innovative branding and design agency that was started in  2003. We are fortunate to have an ex Falmouth illustration student as our contact at Sparks, namely Lizzie Kevan. Thanks to Lizzie and Sparks Studio for hosting our student for what turned out to be a really insightful visit.
