Exposé – A Force for Good: Student project supports local food bank

Foodstock brought in around 75 attendees and saw live music performed by artists including student acts Jake Clifton, Mia Nicholls and Zoë Alexandra and local group Eyes Alchemist. 

Not only did Foodstock raise awareness for combating food poverty in the local community, but it also raised £436.92 in donations that went to the Falmouth & Penryn Foodbank. 

Speaking to Sam and Carl about their experiences of working on the project, Sam said: “The Exposé event was so rewarding in every aspect. It was a culmination of what we’d been pushing towards; doing something in the real world. As a graphics student it can be easy to make mockups of how you’d envision your project, but actually doing it gives you so much more than self-fulfilment as you really have to consider things that wouldn’t even cross your mind when working digitally.  

“Creating the brand’s visuals was a drawn-out process as we went through two design cycles in the previous term trying to figure out what the brand’s core aims and values were, as well as aligning the brand's appearance with the context of promoting merchandise for a good cause.” 

Carl said: “We all had a similar vision of what we wanted to achieve. I really enjoyed and appreciated working with Sam and Chris to ensure we got the best outcome we could.  

“We all wanted to give back to the community and show our appreciation for Falmouth for having us for three years.”
