Successes

-Rosie Frater, Graduate -Business owner at Rosie Frater Jewellery Design

What important skills did you develop: The entrepreneurial skills I learned were really valuable and helped me a lot in getting to grips with running a business.

I loved how there was a variety of tutors who all use different styles of teaching as well as having different knowledge of materials and processes. This really helped me look at my work from many angles and consider it in different ways.

Also working with other designers in a studio was really good for me as it was good to get fresh eyes on my work and help with input and research.

“

Most worthwhile work experience: Working with local jewellers to get to grips with the ‘ins-and-outs’ of running a small business and also studying the Applied Arts programme, which was really good for opening your eyes to the realities of running and planning a business.

- Alison Lyons, Graduate - Costumier for Television and Film Productions. Currently working on a production for CBBC Most interesting work experience: I feel that I was extremely lucky to work on the TV programme: ‘Inspector George Gently’. Originally, I had 3 days work experience, which lead to a permanent position. It gave me my first real insight into the day-to-day running of the production and I was so lucky to work with the people I did. I honestly don’t think I would have ended up where I am today without this experience. I made some amazing contacts and it opened my eyes to the way the industry works.

02

What do you think about the College: When I first walked into CCAD during an Open Event, I immediately knew that it was the perfect place for me to carry on my education. It has such a friendly atmosphere. The programmes are all very industry-specific and I know that the skills I learnt from them have helped me a lot in the job I do now. I found that the Professional Studies module was a great stepping-stone to making my first industry contact.

“

What about the staff: They are very encouraging and extremely passionate about what they do. When I first started at the college, they helped me adjust to university life. They were very welcoming and they helped me reach my full potential.

We have worked with the students and staff over the past 2-3 years on a number of projects – from the “Walk Like An Egyptian” exhibition project at the Dorman Museum, to the “Clothing Cook’s World” project as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games Cultural Olympiad at the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum.

Both students and staff have been a pleasure to work with and the standard of work was very good.

I have no hesitation in recommending to other professional organisations that they talk to CCAD about their project needs.

What next: I would say that my ambition for the future is to work my way up the ladder in the career that I currently have. At the moment, I am a Costume Trainee and I am aiming to eventually be a Costume Supervisor. I would love to explore as many different genres of film and TV productions as I can.

Most rewarding work experience: Working on United over Christmas last year, as I met the Art Director of the TV programme: Tracy Beaker whilst working there, which enabled me to get my first job on the show after CCAD. United gave me a variation of roles and taught me so much.

What do you think about the College: CCAD is brilliant! I still miss it and it’s enabled me to go on and get a job in a really exciting industry, where I hope to be successful. The lecturers know their stuff, and treat me more like their apprentices as opposed to a student, they taught me realistic and appropriate skills ready for me to go straight into the industry, and for that I will always be grateful! Much love to them all!!

What next: My goal is to work my way up the BBC to stage manager, but hopefully one day I will be art directing feature films and TV programmes, with the ultimate goal of being a production designer, as that has always been my ambition.

Most rewarding work experience: Designing for Playboy. Having designed at high street level it was great to be able to design for such a huge global brand. I got to travel a lot and work with factories in Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Turkey and Latvia.

It was great learning how different cultures differ and taking a design through every stage of the process.

Working with the factories is one of my favourite parts of my job as a designer.

Your thoughts about the teaching staff: They are very knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic. I have felt very welcomed in both the Hartlepool and Middlesbrough sections of the College. I think the high number of accolades and awards the students achieve shows just how good the staff are helping the students attain their very best.

“

Does CCAD prepare students for the industry: CCAD has some fantastic programmes and I love that the students are encouraged to work with industry experts and to seek out work experience. I have had the pleasure of working with some of the fashion students and staff and have found the atmosphere to be very creative yet industry focussed, which is what is needed to prepare the students for their working life. There is a lot of passion in the North East and CCAD really nurtures this passion and talent.

I transferred to CCAD from a big University in the South. I’m so glad I made this step. There is more access to machinery, better facilities, and staff are much more helpful and engaging.

There are smaller group sizes here where we can benefit from 1-to-1 tuition EVERY single day.

What’s your future ambition: My future ambition is to get the collection into Selfridges and Harrods.

I am also in talks with a major US distributor so watch this space!

One day I would like to own a chain of Tallulah Love Lifestyle shops too.

What’s it like coming back to speak to the students: As much as I love going into the College to provide talks to inspire these creative individuals, I would like to say how much they inspire me.

I think there are some fantastically talented young people in the area.

Here at Talluah Love we believe in nurturing that talent and helping students (through internships) by working alongside the fantastic staff at CCAD.

The Graphic Design programme at CCAD gave me a fantastic platform to develop my skills, whilst preparing me for a career in the design industry. The opportunity to gain work experience and work on live client briefs give me the skills and confidence to be able to set up my own Graphic & Web Design business. I wouldn’t be where I am today without my experience at CCAD.

How CCAD prepared you for the industry: CCAD helped lay solid foundations for me to build upon.

Having a generous amount of tutor interaction certainly helped, put this alongside learning new skills i.e. how to present to clients really gave me a good start and ensured I could be confident when working in new environments.

What you would say to a potential student: The key is to immerse yourself into the subject, the more you put into the programme - the more you will see the rewards. Using the skills of the tutors to get the most out of your designs is important; doing this by engaging in conversations and working within an environment where the subject is all around you plays a big part in this.

More about CCAD: It has charm; it is one of the few places where you will actually feel you are at an art school.

The dedication of staff plays a massive part in the success of CCAD and its students. It’s the best environment a young creative person can develop their skills in as it encourages forwardthinking and passion for the subject. www.ccad.ac.uk

Your work experience so far: It is incredibly exciting to work here in London with some of the most famous photographers in the world and it’s hard to pin point the best experience so far.

Any notable highlights: Seeing my name credited in my favourite magazines’ editorials and knowing that I helped to create such wonderful images is an instant gratification for all the hard work that goes into assisting. For example, I remember that I was over the moon when I first got credited for assisting on an editorial shoot that appeared on Dazed and Confused, just a few months after I moved to London.

As a photographer my highlights included being commissioned to shoot the new Tatty Devine name necklace line, having one of my portraits published in Wallpaper magazine and my work being exhibited in NYC.

how to apply For all full-time higher education programmes at universities and colleges in the UK, students must apply online at www.ucas.com. There are three types of applicant: students at school or college registered with UCAS; independent applicants in the UK; international applicants outside the UK (EU and worldwide).

Students at a school or college registered with UCAS All UK schools and colleges are registered with UCAS to manage their students’ applications. Advice is available from your teacher or careers adviser at your school or college. You fill in an online application and submit it to a member of staff. After checking your details, and having added the academic reference, your school or college submits the application online to UCAS. Independent applicants in the UK Other UK applicants, who are not at school or college, apply online through UCAS independently. It is likely that you are a mature applicant, who, unlike school or college students, cannot readily seek advice from your teacher, but instead consult with various careers organisations (such as Connexions). You are responsible for paying the correct application fee, for obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS. International applicants outside the UK (EU and worldwide) Except for those whose school or college is registered with UCAS, individuals from the EU (excluding the UK) and worldwide, apply online independently. Advice is available from British Council offices and other centres overseas, such as your school or college, to apply online independently.

You are responsible for paying the correct application fee, for obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS. For all applicants, there are full instructions at www.ucas.com to make it easy as possible for you to fill in your online application, plus help text where appropriate. UCAS also has a comprehensive guide called Applying Online, which can be downloaded from www.ucas.com When to apply Students should apply by the 15th January 2013 to be considered as an on-time applicant.

Students should ensure they meet the deadline for applications. All applicants will be invited for an interview with their portfolio, before an offer is made.

International students should apply through UCAS and will be asked to submit an online portfolio for inspection.

An interview will also be arranged via telephone or skype.

Entry requirements All applicants are considered on their own merit and usually will have successfully completed one of the following routes: t BTEC Extended National Diploma t Foundation Studies in Art & Design t AVCE t A Levels t Other comparable level qualifications CCAD welcomes applications from a wide selection of qualification backgrounds, including students with non-traditional qualifications.

The portfolio and interview remains an important part of the selection procedure (see page on Interview and Portfolio). A typical offer is 240 UCAS tariff points for all programmes.

It is expected that all students will have a level 2 qualification in English. Where appropriate, a conditional offer of a place will be made in terms of a tariff score.

2nd year advanced entry Students should apply as normal through UCAS for advanced entry.

Please note we do not normally accept deferred entry applications.

interview & portfolio Interview preparation

The interview

Portfolio advice

All applicants to Art & Design programmes at CCAD are normally invited for an interview, which enables you to see the outstanding facilities, meet our staff and current students, and view the latest work. It provides us with an opportunity to discuss your portfolio, find out more about you and establish the best degree route for you.

During interview, significant emphasis is placed on evidence of visual and creative ability in the form of a portfolio of work. You are required to bring a portfolio for any programme applied for as part of the interview. To help you prepare for this, we send a guidance sheet with your interview letter.

Additionally, we have included some tips in this prospectus.

A portfolio is individual to every student and it is difficult to tell you exactly what it should consist of, as you will all have individual styles and will have produced work in different ways, which we actively encourage. Examples of your work can be either complete or ‘work in progress’ – as long as they demonstrate your skills, interests and key strengths.

Interviews are also an opportunity for you to communicate your enthusiasm, commitment and self-motivation towards the programme you are applying for, and to ask any questions you may have.

Usually starting from as early as October, you will be notified with an interview date via post (if you reside in the UK). You will be given the option to reschedule if the appointed time and date is inconvenient.

If you are applying outside the UK we will contact you via email (where possible), therefore you should provide a valid email address on your UCAS application form. We acknowledge it may not be feasible to attend an interview at the College. In such cases we will accept a telephone or Skype interview after successful review of your portfolio.

At interview you will be asked general questions regarding your application to us, some questions about yourself, your inspirations and aspirations. This may include information about artists or designers that you admire, and what it is about their work that inspires you. If in doubt, you can tell us about artists you have studied at college.

We may also ask about any trips you might have made to museums or art galleries. You don’t have to keep to subject specific areas either, if you have applied for Photography, for example, but there is a certain painter you admire – tell us about them too.

The following information will give you a good idea of some of the things we will want to see in a portfolio of work. This list is by no means exhaustive, and we encourage you to bring anything that you feel will help your application to the College. However, the most important thing to remember is to be selective and not just bring everything you have ever done. t

The content of the portfolio should be presented in a logical, ordered and simple fashion.

t

As a basis we would like to see evidence of drawing skills for most programmes – from simple still life pencil sketches to hand rendered colour work.

t

Sketchbooks are also welcomed as these give us the opportunity to see how you develop your ideas, and interpret any briefs that you are given. It also allows us to ascertain the extent to which you are able to evaluate your work and your research.

t

You may also like to bring evidence of design and craftwork you have created if it is appropriate to the programme you are applying for.

Don’t panic!!

The most important thing about this review session is to be yourself; the idea behind your interview is to show us the kind of things you are interested in, for us to see how passionately you talk about your work, and to help us make sure we find the best programme to suit you. Finally, dress as you would dress if you were a student here; we don’t expect you to come dressed for a job interview!

t

Where appropriate the applicant is asked to provide examples of photography, 3D work, video/audio tapes.

t

If you have samples of techniques or products that you have made, please bring them in a box if they do not fit a 2d format.

t

Always include a recent example of written work, such as an essay or a report, so that we can judge how confident you are in written communication.

Other considerations include: t t t t t t t t

Exploration and experimentation Written work and research Art and design awareness Use of colour and mixed media Progression of ideas and work sheets Original design solutions Amount of work in portfolio Communication skills

If any pieces of work that you have created are too big to bring in for interview, or your college won’t let you bring your work out – try and get pictures of it instead to provide as examples.

Due to the specialist nature and variety of programmes we have on offer, more subject specific advice on portfolio content can be found our website.
