Does your organisation need new branding or logo design?
Student Designers allows you to set up competitions that use crowd-sourcing: design and art students compete to fulfil your businesses design requirements. Student Designers also enables students to develop their business acumen—an area not usually covered by design courses.
Students greatly underestimate the value of their time and skills, and struggle with the balance between perfection and on-time delivery. Student Designers’ aim is to make students more employable and to develop the skills they need to set up their own business; an option appealing to more and more graduates in this economy.
“Students often only work on a handful of live briefs. Student Designers will change this by hosting a range of design competitions.” says Alex Barton, founder of Student Designers. “We are also working with business support organisations to tailor the entrepreneurial and business development opportunities for creative students.”
Alex, a Management Marketing graduate, started Student Designers last month following his experience with graphic design students while developing business projects during and after his time at RGU.
Alex is hoping to run sponsored competitions to benefit social enterprises and to promote best practice in graphic design. “We are speaking to a few people who are interested in sponsoring this type of activity and if any readers would be interested in finding out more, I would be delighted to hear from them.”
Universities and colleges who are seeking ways to help students develop a wider range of skills view Student Designers as an effective way of providing them with practical experience and advice. Students throughout the UK are signing up in large numbers, and business representatives and social enterprises are registering interest.
