Congratulations to Sara Nguyen (IDEA Grad 2021) for winning the Applied Arts 2019 Student Award for Editorial Design and 2019 Silver Award – Editorial & Book Design - The Advertising & Design Club of Canada (ADCC) Student Competition with "Type Unwrapped: A Commentary on Candy Bars". Instructor: Heather Jalbout. Course: IDES 247: Survey and Principles of Typography. Check out her multiple award-winning project!

This project was a collaboration between Communications 190 writing class and IDES 235 Illustration class. Comm 190 writers were paired with an IDES 235 illustrator to design an illustration that would visually introduce the story in a magazine. The results were impressive, and the students of both classes really enjoyed the collaborative development.

Shown above: How I Weave Reconciliation written by Cohen Isberg and illustrated by Aidan Zecchel.

Capilano University’s IDEA School of Design students won 14/50 Advertising & Design Club of Canada (ADCC) Student Awards this year. Not bad for our first time entering! We didn’t get any golds, but 3 silvers and 11 merits. Shown above: Adventure Bug by Danielle Adams (Graphic Design Silver).

Congratulations and thank-you to all the students for making time to submit your work. It’s a huge benefit for you and the school!
