Creative Review has chosen the work of graduate imagemakers to appear on over 1,000 of JCDecaux’s digital screens at stations, roadsides and shopping centres all over the UK...
Alec Mezzetti, a Leeds College of Art graduate from Exeter is one of just 10 graduates to be chosen as a ‘rising star’ and to have their work showcased to millions as part of a national initiative by Creative Review and JCDecaux. From 12 July to 31 July, his work will run across JCDecaux’s digital screens in rail stations and shopping malls UK-wide.
Alec who studied BA (Hons) Graphic Design will see his work displayed on digital screens and in Creative Review magazine as part of the Talent Spotting initiative run by Creative Review with outdoor advertising company JCDecaux. This highlights up-and-coming art and design talent from universities and colleges across the country.
Alec says:-
“It’s amazing to be chosen, I’m looking forward to seeing my work in such a prominent setting. This piece was part of a wider project exploring the causes, effects and possible solutions of the UK’s housing crisis. The gilded brick contrasts the luxury with the necessity.”
