Seevic

BTEC Art and Design student Aimee Sear will see her artwork printed 3,300 times after she won a competition at the College to design the cover for the new student planner, which will be used by students in the next academic year starting in September.

Aimee, 17, from Basildon said: “I designed the cover as part of a project for my course. I was pleased with my design so I thought I would go for it and submit it for the competition. The other designs were really good so I was so surprised to hear that I had won. I am very excited that every student at the College will get a planner with my design on it.

“I came up with the idea of using the theme of a puzzle because the College is made up of all different parts and people but they all come together as a whole to make SEEVIC a good place to study. I would like to be a designer when I leave College so this will look great on my CV and my family are really proud of me.”

The competition invited students to design a cover for the new 2010/2011 student planner that will be used by all SEEVIC College students to record assignment deadlines and other relevant dates. After all designs were submitted three were short-listed and placed online where students could vote for their favourite.

Tanya Partridge, Head of Student Services at SEEVIC College said: “I think Amiee’s design is excellent. I like the concept of ‘The SEEVIC Community’ that is portrayed in the design. It’s very exciting to showcase the talents of our students in this way. I look forward to seeing the finished product and think it’s great that students can be involved in creating products that will be used College wide.”

As a prize for winning the competition Amiee was awarded with a framed copy of her design, a £25 Lakeside shopping voucher and two sketchpads. Amiee said: “The framed design looks really good and I’m looking forward to spending the vouchers, I’m going to buy some new clothes for my holiday.”
