NEW YORK, NEW YORK.......

Over 70 Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography and Photojournalism students ventured to New York on an amazing trip!

As temperatures plummeted (to around -10 degrees!) the students experienced the trip of a lifetime in the Big Apple. With thermals, hats, gloves and scarves, students embarked on visits to famous landmarks, exhibitions, studios, cafes,  restaurants and the occasional bar (strictly those over 21 of course).

Enormous thanks go to the following studios who gave their time and energy into offering the students an insight into the world of visual communication, state-side:-  Red Peak, 3X3 Magazine, Hugo & Marie, Hello Monday and Madwell - who hosted Staffordshire students for the second time in as many years.

Photography students enjoyed MOMA exhibitions and worked on a project to record 'non-tourist' images while they were away. In addition to these visits a host of iconic places were experienced including:- Empire State Building, Staten Island Ferry, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Centre, Ground Zero, Macy's, Broadway, Central Park, New York High Line, Chelsea Market and Greenwich Village.
