Creative Arts students from the University were set a brief to design his Christmas card. The brief required students to produce something festive, which also clearly represented the University and at least one of its strategic themes: Sport, Health and Wellbeing; Vibrant and Inclusive Communities; Climate Change and Net Zero.
There were 21 submissions altogether and the Vice-Chancellor selected three designs which have now been printed by Creative and Print Services.
He commented:
“I was incredibly impressed by the quality of the entries for the student Christmas card competition. We have such a creative and talented student body, and it will be an honour to showcase their work through my personal and professional network.”
The winners were as follows:
Ewa Jablonska (Graphic Communication and Illustration, third-year student)
“Designing my Christmas card, I intended to depict Loughborough as a place where everyone has the opportunity to get involved, regardless of ability or interest. I wanted to show Loughborough’s spirit by turning Christmas baubles into balls that represent the variety of incredible sporting opportunities available for Loughborough students. They create a whole, a Christmas tree, and a welcoming community. The colours I used, purple and gold, are associated with Loughborough University and the festive period. To increase the tactility and engagement with the Christmas card I used the embossed effect and textured types of paper which also allowed me to create a unique atmosphere.”
