WELCOME TO MANCHESTER

Manchester is often called the creative capital of the North, which isn’t a surprise when you think of the nearly 10,000 creative businesses that have set up camp here. From MediaCity to successful musicians such as The Smiths, Oasis and Bugzy Malone, this is just part of the landscape in Manchester, making it the perfect home for young creatives.

Manchester is home to not one, but two ACC centres on Oxford Street and Hulme Street, 16 minutes walk from each other. Our Oxford Street centre hosts our music students and our Hulme Street centre is where you’ll find games and media and each one is dedicated to the disciplines they house.

STUDENT WORK

Matthew Hall - Level 3 Games Art

Matt Hall is consistently pushing the boundaries of his skills and knowledge in the realm of games art, well outside the confines of the course's curriculum. He is a dedicated, conscientious and talented games artist who has become a strong 3D modeller, texture artist and visual storyteller.

Abi Chilton - Level 3 Film, Videography & Photography

Abi's photograph Blue is one part of a larger body of work exploring the positive and negative impact of creativity on our identity. Blue features a model direftly addressing the audience, asking them for empathy and help. Abi's photograph technically excels, featuring a well-composed, sharp image which features a busy frame that creates visual interest whilst not detracting from the subject and their haunting expression, with the hands and depth almost drawing the audience into the subject's gaze.

Ethan Davidson - Level 3 Graphic & Digital Design

Ethan's design is for a series of books that represent Ethan's struggle to figure out what freedom actually means to him. ERSATZ explores the idea that freedom does not truly exist and only imitations of it do so. Ethan uses his wide-ranging understanding of graphic design techniques and confidence in a variety of mediums to present work that explores these concepts in exciting, visually engaging ways.

Doogle (band) - Level 3 Music Performance

From very early on this year, Doogle has demonstrated consistent artistic growth and determination, backed by a well-curated and passionate brand identity. From the brainchild of singer/songwriter and guitarist Joe Robinson, Doogle rapidly developed their repertoire of original material. They received high praise from the curators of the 'This is Manchester Awards' when they auditioned after only a couple of weeks together. They have built a strong following in the North West thanks to their trademark boiler suits and powerful acoustic guitar, bass and drums-driven anthems.

Fear of Marko - Level 4 Artist Development

Fear of Marko is a highly accomplished and polished performer who is constantly working on his music and brand. He has a strong visual image and brand identity and has built up a significant local following. Marko has produced some high-quality music and supported that with great videos and social media presence. He is an artist in every sense and is concerned with all aspects of his career.

James Mcintyre - Level 3 Music Production

James has worked really hard with his productions and building his DJ set, even emailing professional artists for feedback on his remixes. Since he started at college, he has recorded lots of mixes and spends every spare minute in the DJ pod. He started college late and had no previous DAW knowledge but has become an accomplished DJ and producer over the last few months, including headlining an event at Retro in Manchester.
