The Graduate Exhibition of the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts is the highlight of the academic year for our students and staff. This online catalogue represents the culmination of many years of full time study and gives our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their imagination, hard work and creative skills in a public arena. The exhibition features work from all our programmes and highlights the exciting and innovative range of work produced by our graduates across Fine Art, Furniture, Product, Interior, Visual Merchandising, Visual Communication Design and Creative and Cultural Industries.

The 2022 exhibition is particularly special as it is the first opportunity we have had to invite the public to our brand new East Quad Arts building and give everyone a chance to see our magnificent new studios and workshops.

The identity and design of this year’s exhibition, catalogue and website was created by Visual Communication students Marwa Noelle Ali, Conor Rice and Aisling Hannon. Their design uses manipulated type to illustrate the progression from individual broken up pixels to full letterforms, to represent the coming together of the final year cohort in the post pandemic era.

Launch June 2, 6pm
Open Daily June 3—11, 10am—5pm

Shane Brodigan

Shane is a final year product designer from Drogheda; his fascination with design began from a very young age when he used to draw a weekly comic strip issue which he would distribute to his classmates in primary school. He is fascinated with all aspects of the design process, emphasising design research and rapid prototyping. He is also fascinated with intuitive, simplistic design and exploring a user's pain points and journey map whilst navigating through a user interface or process and coming up with innovative and abstract solutions using his diverse skill set.

EduCubes

EduCubes is an educational product that aims to improve the overall success of primary school students aged 6-11 years old in STEM. The product develops the student's computational thinking abilities, a critical problem-solving skill set that is particularly useful for computer programming, mathematics, and everyday life. The product also develops the students' spatial skills, which are the ability to mentally manipulate complex structures; this skill strongly correlates to STEM success and is currently underserved within the Irish curriculum.

The EduCubes product blends active learning through play, a growing trend in the curriculum, with the perks of an interactive companion application that tracks student performance and utilises its level-based skill progression system to ensure each student can learn at a consistent, linear pace regardless of their initial skill level.
