Shoe Design Challenge 

In the Foundation Visual Arts courses, students were posed a challenge to develop their own brands and custom shoe designs. For the past 5 weeks the young designers worked on concept development, creating a brand & identity for themselves, constructing & designing a product for their line, and constructing their own, functional packaging devices.  These student designers will compete in the final Design Exhibition in the Dorchester Academy Gallery for "best overall design". The two winners will receive the “Top Designer of the Semester Award”, and a special prize. Look out for flyers about the Design Exhibition opening and remember to cast your votes! See you at the show!
