Danny Bishop, BA (Hons) Video "Since my degree course I have gone on to become a cameraman. I have won an award at the New York Documentary Film Festival for a documentary I shot and edited on British prisons. Since then I have gone on to shoot worldwide in a variety of locations, from the Artic to the jungle to the Sahara and the USA and South America. I have filmed all three Jack Osbourne Adrenaline Junkies and have also filmed Bring Back Dallas with Justin Lee Collins." www.danny-bishop.com Rhian Hullin, BA (Hons) Graphic Design "When I started the course, I didn't even know how to turn on a computer, now, thanks to the lecturers at Swansea, I have my own company and 4 employees. I work on computers all day every day, and absolutely love every single second of it. Swansea is a great place to come to start the rest of your life; many of my uni friends came to Swansea and never left. Be warned... once you've tasted Swansea, you'll find it difficult to leave!" www.waters-creative.co.uk Paul Read, BA (Hons) Photojournalism "Leaving Swansea with a first class honours degree, I was almost immediately awarded The Guardian Student Photographer of the Year Award. This gave me some work experience at The Guardian in London; from there I received commissions from The Guardian. Based in Manchester, I am now working freelance on documentary projects in parallel with advancing wedding photography to target affluent and international clients." www.paulreadphotography.com Jo Ashburner, BA (Hons) Surface Pattern Design "My award-winning company Noonoo© designs, manufactures and distributes handmade gifts and playthings for little children. In 2005 I set up an independent ethical manufacturing unit in Saigon, Vietnam. In 2006, I was awarded UK National Businesswoman of the Year for my efforts in ethical manufacturing and ecologically sound textile sourcing. I did my Foundation Art and Design as well as the Surface Pattern Design degree at Swansea as a single mother, and received the best support on every level that I could ever have hoped for from all staff during my time on the course - time has shown that the lessons learnt have stood me in good stead as I strive to develop a successful company." www.noonoodesign.com |
