The latest ‘Windows on’ project has once again allowed Octink, a display specialist to continue our work with budding young designers, this time with the talented children from Ivybridge as part of our community investment programme, and in conjunction with Hounslow Homes, Isleworth Extended Services and the Brentford City Learning Centre. The ‘Windows on’ projects allow us to engage with a collection of young adults across the Borough to add an artistic twist to their local environment, and often improve the outlook and appearance of either rundown buildings or community neighbourhoods. Feedback to date suggests that the addition of artwork to any area is always welcome, and in addition serves to provide areas with a sense of youthful soul, ambition, and respect.
Everyone at Octink is hugely proud of the work provided to date, and particularly impressed with the understanding of computer skills and design programs that the local students have demonstrated. The work is of such a high quality and are fast becoming locally renowned works of art! As we look forward the hope is that one day we will be able to hone these skills in our own workplace on permanent basis as we continue to address the issue of employability locally. This is very encouraging for our future development of our business, and hopefully that of the students too.
Once presented and critiqued the designs were printed direct to substrate via our Inca Spyder large format printers. All materials used can be recycled in the future.
Commenting on the outcome of the project, Debbie Squires from Isleworth Extended Services (ISLES) said “Your support once again is invaluable. Your talk to the children and their parents about Octink and the design process was simply superb, and never fails to inspire me”.
