'Burning the candle at both ends'

November 2009



The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (DoEHLG) in conjugation with the Department of Design in the School of Art, Design and Printing devised a project whose aim was to encourage students, especially first year students, to be mindful of the dangers of fire as they move from living at home into rented accommodation. This digital media project was carried out by 3rd year visual communication students.

Áine Brady, TD, Minister for Older People and Health Promotion recognised the emerging talent of visual communication students in Mountjoy Square on Thursday afternoon, the 26th of November. Aisling MacNamara  and Ana Lago were presented with the winning award for their project ‘Risky Roomies’, shown above. Runners up were David Baxter  and  Ciaran Murphy for their project ‘Flaming Meadows’, below.
