Julia Syrzistie’s work combines
illustration, printmaking and
graphic design. Her project,
Recast is a visual exploration of
the Doves typeface. “Thought to
be destroyed at the beginning of
the 20th century by its disposal
into the River Thames, the
typeface managed to survive on
the riverbed over 100 years,”
Syrzistie says. “By 2014, it was
recovered and made into a
digital font. This project explores
the materiality of the story, with
replicas of the type cast to
portray its journey in an
illustrative way.”

Sean Last loves work that “allows

you to play with materials,

colours and mediums. I find

that’s when you create

something unique.” But the

most important lesson he

learned on his graphic design

course has been “resilience: the

ability to trust in your creative

vision, but also being able to let

it go”. It’s an approach he applied

to his project, ACCENT: a

speculative visual representation

of Scotland’s identity on the

international stage. “It uses

dance as a creative metaphor for

the fluidity and ever-evolving

nature of identity, and promotes

a more inclusive vision,” he says.
