The WLC Design School hosted a unique design exhibition in the city recently. Titled ‘Come Ok Please’, the exhibition was held at Alliance Francaise de Bangalore from July 2-4 in an attempt to showcase the creative work done by students of WLC in the past year. “I think Come OK Please was an invaluable experience for our students,” says Chitra Viswanathan, head of department, Graphic Design and Advertising.
The exhibition showcased student work in art, photography, advertising and graphic design and the selected theme for this year was Indian Street Graphics, as an endeavour to spark off student interest in the Indian visual aesthetic.
Apart from being a platform to exhibit work done by students in the year 2009-2010, the exhibition was also a great platform for the college and students in terms of job perspective. “Industry people from advertising firms like Ogilvy & Mather, Temple Advertising, White Canvas and many more had also come to see the work displayed by students at the exhibition. Come Ok Please not only helped students to be noticed in the job market, it also gave our college the opportunity to be recognised for its standards of design education,” says Viswanathan.
The three-day event held between 10am to 7pm spoke volumes of the thorough research and hard work put in by the students of WLC College. “We hit the streets, clicked photos, spoke to BBMP artists about their work on the walls of the city. We started our research almost three months prior to the big day,” says 23-year-old Jebby Mathew, who is a post graduate student of visual communication at the college.
“My work at the exhibition is like a creative campaign against problems like urinating in public places, spitting and littering,” says Mathew.
He adds: “We even designed a few installations like the cycle, poles with birds sitting on the wires, etc, for the exhibition to portray a typical Indian street.”
A second-year student of the Undergraduate course at the college, Rajesh Aryan, 25, also left no stone unturned to display his best at the exhibition. “For the graphic design showcase, everyone had been given 10 topics and was asked to choose one out of them and design it in ten different art forms like the DADA, the Russian Constructivism and so on. I chose Congress,” says Aryan.
