Ms Ciara Moore, a 3rd year UJ Graphic Design Student, won a Silver Loerie in the Logos and Identity Programmes category for rebranding a Laundromat. In the same category her classmate, Matthew McIver won a Bronze Loerie for his rebranding of Greenland’s Health Store.
This 3rd year class project was co-ordinated by a past UJ Graphic Design graduate, David Chong, who is currently the Head of Design at Open Co. The project brief involved a mock redesign and rebrand of an existing company, changing the logo, colours and theme of the company. It was felt that Matthew and Ciara’s project outcomes were strong enough to then be submitted to the Loerie Awards.

Pan’s Missing Shadow is another project that was selected as a finalist in the Loerie’s Digital Crafts category. This project has now also gone on to be selected as a finalist in the Pendoring awards. In this collaborative game design project, students Emma Robinson-Harbour, Leighton Coertze (both UJ Graphic Design students) and Georgia Walsh (UJ Multimedia student) designed a viral marketing campaign for a book or a graphic novel of the students’ choice.
