Our CREATIVE STUDIOS at North Kent College Dartford specialises in the education and training of young creatives, making dream careers become reality. Creative Studios comprises of many subject areas, each with their own unique logo. Every logo was well thought out and relates directly to the subject area, let’s find out what they all mean….
The 3D element of the department is depicted by a 3D cube, which also shows off the XYZ axis which are used when working in a 3D space. 
ANIMATION & VFX:
With animation, the Onion skin icon was chosen which is used in most animation software and ties in with what they use in the industry. The onion skin is used so the user can see several frames of animation simultaneously to then see if the animation lines up correctly.
GRAPHIC DESIGN & ILLUSTRATION:
For this department a Pen tool icon was chosen, which is used globally among designers who used the adobe creative suite. However, the icon has been changed so does not copy what adobe has used but still depicts the universal pen design.
ART & DESIGN:
For Art and Design pencil is used as the icon as art students tend to be related to drawing and sketching and this typically the beginning of an artists work, a pencil sketch.
PHOTOGRAPHY:
An aperture symbol was chosen for Photography, this is used on a camera. The aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels so the more light let in the less focus you have on the background, and allowing less light in puts everything into focus.
TV & FILM:
For this department a clapper board was chosen as this is used in every TV & Film production so relates directly to the subject. The clapper board is used to designate and mark the various scenes and takes as they are filmed and audio recorded.
DIGITAL JOURNALISM:
A microphone depicts digital journalism as it relates to the recording of audio and events/ current affairs and therefore was chosen for this icon.
FASHION:
For Fashion a button is used because this represents the historical and contemporary elements of fashion.
