WorkWise for Screen commission Textile Design graduate
BA (Hons) Textile Design
WorkWise for Screen has worked with the University to commission Erin Nicholson, BA (Hons) Textile Design graduate to create digital images for use on its platform and in print.
WorkWise for Screen is a £1.5m pilot programme created with support from the BFI awarding National Lottery funding that provides screen businesses with practical resources and guidance to support equity, inclusion, dignity and respect in the workplace.
The organisation worked with our Careers, Enterprise and Employability team to commission one student to create 13 digital images, 12 of which illustrate 12 pieces of advice that promote positive ways of working. This has been produced as a pack of postcards to be distributed across the screen sector. The 13th design has been used to create an exclusive bonus postcard for VIPs.
The brief asked Erin to follow WorkWise for Screen's brand guidelines, carefully considering her use of colour to make the images visually appealing. She was also asked to make the advice feel humorous and light while making sure that the that illustrations are appropriate to be used in corporate settings.
“I recently worked with WorkWise to create thirteen images to help communicate positive ways of working. Illustrating the concepts allowed me to work in a different style to what I am used to! It’s really taught me to lean into different mediums to push my practice.”
Erin Nicholson, BA (Hons) Textile Design graduate
“By collaborating with a young illustrator, we’ve not only invested in emerging creative talent, but we’ve also brought a fresh and authentic visual voice to the message of Good Work in the screen sector. Erin worked with us at WorkWise for Screen to deliver these postcard designs that serve as eye-catching, meaningful reminders that behind every great screen production is a culture of respect, opportunity and creativity."
Keith Arrowsmith, WorkWise for Screen Programme Director
The messages and images are being used by WorkWise for Screen across all its digital platforms helping to highlight how to improve good work in business practice.
