Innovative and creative student projects presented to a jury of professionals in the industry

Each year, at the end of their academic program, our graduates in Professional Creative Photography, Graphic Design and Interior Design have the opportunity to present their final projects in front of a panel of judges composed of active members of the industry.

The purpose of these events is to recognize a winning project according to well-defined criteria, but also, and above all, to allow students to receive feedback from professionals who have a great deal of experience in their field. It is also a great opportunity for our students to showcase their talent and creativity and to network with people in the field.

Once again this year, LaSalle College is very proud to present the winning project(s) for each program.

Our favorite project from Gabriel's portfolio is a fictional awareness campaign for the Canadian Women's Foundation that targets women who are physically and psychologically abused in domestic environments.

On Mark's end, our favorite project is a fictional advertising campaign for the NDP political party to defend the environment, equality, and justice.
