An advent calendar with a creative spark
Students at Southampton Solent University are getting creative this Christmas and showing off their work through an interactive digital advent calendar.
The calendar, curated and developed by Solent Creatives, the university’s very own creative agency, aims to promote and showcase the varied and dynamic talent nurtured at the university.
Every day throughout the advent period, a door will be unlocked on the calendar – putting the spotlight on a new student and their work as well as offering access to a free download. The calendar features students from a variety of courses and backgrounds including music, photography, illustration and writing to name just a few.
Solent Creatives Coordinator, Matt Weet, explains “We wanted to celebrate Christmas in a unique way this year, and an interactive advent calendar sounded like a fun way to do this, whilst also promoting the talents of 25 students. The response from applicants has been fantastic and we are hugely excited for the first box to be unlocked. A massive thanks to all those who applied and were involved in the development.”
