Student goals and capabilities

Trinity Western University's Art + Design program is excited to invite forward-thinking organizations to collaborate with our third and fourth-year students in the "Applied Creative Studio" course. In this course, students merge classroom learning with real-world design challenges, honing their skills in areas such as branding, print design, digital sound recording, and videography. By partnering with us, clients will have the opportunity to engage with motivated learners who are eager to apply their creativity and expertise to provide practical creative solutions. We seek clients who can provide regular guidance, share project insights, and offer constructive feedback to ensure a meaningful learning experience for our students.


NOTE: The range of media is dependent on the skills and interests of the individual students that enroll in the course.
