Out Of The Shadows

Here we feature a recent YCN entry for the KFC ‘hand prepared’ brief by Jay Austin & Gabe Aplando. Their idea was based on a fictional hand exercise manual that had been recently discovered by builders who were renovating the UK’s first ever KFC restaurant in Preston, Lancashire.

Experts believe the manual was originally created by the Colonel himself in order to keep his cooks hand dexterity at a high level, hence ensuring they could prepare his chicken to the highest degree.

Jonathan Mount wins a YCN award

Jonathan Mount a second year Graphic Design student has won a YCN Design Award Commendation in the Fedrigoni Paper category. The competition brief was to design a highly coveted Christmas gift for Fedrigoni using their Constellation range of paper. His entry ‘Standles’ features a range of candle stands engineered from the paper range, based on the three festive gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

It’s great to engage on briefs where the physical is of importance as it shows the wide gamut of disciplines within design as a whole. The encouragement and feedback from tutors and industry professionals has helped enormously as I head into my placement year.
