Seneca student wins province-wide design contest


Second-year Independent Illustration student Weimar Lee is the winner of the Ontario Library Association Super Conference Design Competition.

Students and recent graduates at post-secondary institutions across the province took part in this contest.

Weimar’s winning designs earned her $1,500 and will be used as the “visual identity” at the Ontario Library Association Super Conference — Canada’s largest library conference. Her work will be featured on programs, signage, the Super Conference web site, brochures, t-shirts, mugs, pins and much more.

More than 20 students from Seneca’s Independent Illustration took part in the competition as part of their Digital Tools course, which is taught by Professor Barney Wornoff. In fact, Weimar's classmates Sean Fritchley and Salini Perera were named runners up. Their work will also be featured online and in one of the conference’s event programs.

The Ontario Library Association estimates more than 10,000 people will see the work of our students.
