Art, Design, Media and Floristry at Newcastle-under-Lyme Collge
Former NULC Graphics student, George Myers, has seen his work showcased at one of New York’s most famous buildings, Grand Central Station.
The cutting edge ‘3D’ animations promoting the UK's own Financial Times had commuters stopping in their tracks to take in these site specific adverts. George, now an established editorial illustrator whose clients have included The Guardian and Financial Times, worked flat out on the project for a month but is understandably thrilled with the results and critical reaction.
During his fours years at the College, George studied the National Diploma in Visual Communication and A Level Graphics where he achieved an A grade, before progressing to study a Foundation degree with NULC.
Mike Kelly, Assistant Head Of NULC Sixth Form, is delighted to see a former student excelling. Mike said: “ George was very quiet as a student but obviously had the quality of ideas and drawing skills to excel. It’s incredibly rewarding for the staff who taught George to see him fulfilling his potential in such a spectacular arena.”

Students from Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) have been selected to meet UK
design expert, Wayne Hemingway.
A group of students studying the Foundation degree (Fd) in Contemporary Art Practice at NULC will be attending the this month's highly-anticipated Ceramics show, where they have been invited to an exclusive question and answer session on design with the Red or Dead founder, who will also act as keynote speaker at the show's event lunch.
Widely regarded as an influential figure in modern British design, Hemingway began with fashion label, Red or Dead, before founding Hemingway Design, which has allowed him to branch out into varied aspects of design, including ceramics.
"We are delighted that Wayne has given up his time to meet the students," says Max Dudson, Chair of Ceramics 2013. "Both the past and future of our industry is heavily reliant on good design, and we wanted to give the ceramics designers of the future the opportunity to meet and draw inspiration from Wayne."
The show - set to take place on Thursday 26 September - has adopted 'Made in the UK' as this year's design theme, and will bring together companies from across the industry and its supply chain to celebrate success stories, and to provide a key networking opportunity.
NULC provides a range of university level courses in partnership with Staffordshire University. Courses are available to study full-time and part-time and are taught in the College's bespoke University Centre at the College's £60 million campus.
