Here at Studio North we’re always looking to support the next generation of designers, so were please to get involved with the DNA (Designers Northern Alliance) this week.

The two day event was designed to bring together representatives from industry and academia as well as showcase the best undergraduate and post graduate talent in the North West. Students from the University of Salford, University of Chester, Manchester Metropolitan University, UCLAN, Liverpool John Moores University, North Wales and Huddersfield University attended along with some of the regions most celebrated design agencies.

As well as an exhibition of the best graduate talent from universities in the North there were keynote lectures from the cream of the creative industry, portfolio surgeries, roundtable discussions and Q & A sessions.

We were delighted to help out with the portfolio surgeries. It’s always energising to see creativity in it’s rawest form, without the complications and reality of restrictive brief, limiting budget and punishing deadline!

The event and exhibition was held at The Triangle, Manchester, for more information you can visit www.designersnorthernalliance.org
