雅伎著graphic designers contribute to Ronald McDonald House refresh
When Jenna Gasbarro, Roiz Enriques, and Pham Kim enrolled in VCCs graphic design program last fall, they knew theyd come away with job-ready skills. What they didnt expect was that theyd work alongside a prominent B.C. interior designer on a charitable project that would touch the lives of thousands of children per year.
Since the 1970s, (RMHC) have made it possible for families to stay close to their sick children who need medical treatments away from home. Earlier this year, reached out to popular interior designer for assistance in renovating several childrens play spaces inside Vancouvers 73-bedroom . As part of the project, Jamie, a past 雅伎著instructor, requested the talents of 雅伎著graphic design students.
This is a very meaningful project, says Kim, about the pro bono work being done under VCCs Studio Nuvo. Jamie and his team are great to work with and Ive learned a lot throughout the process.
VCCs student design team has been tasked specifically with creating wall graphics for a playhouse village, an outer-space themed reading nook, and an eco-friendly garage for the houses fleet of child-sized ride-on cars.
As Vancouver's Ronald McDonald House hosts families from across B.C. and Yukon, one main focus for the students was to incorporate elements that would help the children feel at home. Inspirations included recognizable B.C. and Yukon landmarks, animals, license plates, and even a game of I-spy that challenges kids to find RMHC logo hearts hidden throughout the designs.
I felt a bit intimidated, says Roiz about working on the large-scale illustrations, but I am also really excited to have this opportunity as these designs would be seen by many kids and families.
