Interior Design Students' Showreel
Digital Showcase 2020
2020 has been a year of abrupt and unprecedented global change. We are proud of the ways our students responded in these extraordinary times.
We developed our online showcase with Rhombus Studio, a local company founded by UWE Bristol alumni from Graphic Design. Whilst no substitute for our annual Degree Show, the showcase features the work of hundreds of our graduating students from 25 of UWE Bristol’s creative courses across art, design, animation, fashion, media, performance, photography and filmmaking.
