TURLAND AWARD 2023
Jenny Kohler BA (Hons) Visual Communications
The winner of the 2023 Turland Award is Jenny Kohler. Her Final Major Project tells an engaging narrative from her Grandad who was part of the Italian resistance fighters during the Second World War. She collated an archive of tapes that details these stories which he recorded before he passed away.
Jenny is a multidisciplinary designer who enjoys visual storytelling across graphic design, branding, editorial, print and 2D animation. Her previous experience includes working as part of an in-house media team at Camp IHC and working remotely on freelance projects for charity organisation SCOPE.
For her FMP Jenny decided to translate her grandfather’s war diaries, recorded on cassette tapes, into an editorial piece to preserve and share his first-hand experiences in the Italian Campaign. Jenny translated the diaries using audio on her phone and then using Happy Scribe to transcribe the audio. She then went on to translate the diaries into visual forms using type, illustration, print and bookbinding for the finished project.
PMT committee members were unanimous in choosing this project to win the 2023 Turland Award.
TURLAND AWARD 2022
The winner of this years Turland Award, Patricia Gonclaves, grew up and currently lives in Poole. Patricia has a BA (Hons) Fashion from the Arts University, Bournemouth. The winner was selected by members of Poole Maritime Trust committee from seven nominations. Patricia was nominated for the award by Elena Crehan, Senior Lecturer. Patricia has created a contemporary streetwear collection for both men and women based on her experience of childhood epilepsy.
“Brainwave” is a luxury streetwear collection that provides a sense of comfort, protection and functionality. The purpose of the collection is to raise awareness for the lifelong impacts of epilepsy and how restricting it can be. Her research began by investigating the condition’s medical history and safety precautions associated with seizures. Consequently, silhouettes have been informed by photographs of comforting childhood memories and studies of hands. A sense of touch and safety can be implied from images where arms are wrapped round one another. The collection was selected to show on the catwalk at Graduate Fashion Week.
