MEET Jason Elumbaring! 💻

Jason came to our Digital Design + Development Post-Graduate Diploma program with a BSc in Engineering and more than 15 years of experience as a computer maintenance technician.

As a student, he was always keen to take on new challenges. For his capstone project, he developed a dental image management and patient record-keeping app, tackling a pretty complex problem and putting his technical skills to work.

Today, he works right here at North Island College as a Client Support Analyst in our IT department!

It’s pretty great to see someone bring so much previous experience into the program, add a whole new set of skills, and then find a place to put them to work right here at NIC. 🙌

🎂 Happy birthday, Charlene Roberts!

We're celebrating with a look back at the First Line Mortgage identity Charlene built as a Communication Design Diploma student — a complete brand system in bold red and black, from the monogram and patterned collateral right through to letterhead, business cards, envelopes, branded pens and pencils, and a responsive website mockup.

Strong mark, consistent system, and no detail left unconsidered. Exactly the kind of thinking that carries a designer from student work to professional practice.

Wishing you a great one, Charlene! 🎉

Remember when Misko DeeJays Valent was a student in our Communication Design Diploma program and kept bringing these awesome music-industry-inspired designs to class?

Today he's still going strong as a DJ. Miss your energy in class Misko!

CHECK OUT this food truck branding design by Communication Design Diploma graduate Sarah Fox created as part of her capstone project. 🥬 🥣

Sarah now runs Indygirl - a design agency that specializes in branding for neurodivergent entrepreneurs: https://indygirl.ca/

It’s great to see where our graduates take the skills they developed here—especially when they go on to build something of their own! 🙌

BACK IN THE DAY… 🖥️

When layers and masks in Photoshop were the only way to create composite images, making something like this was a lot of work! It took technical skill and patience to bring all those elements together, but the real skill is being able to use those tools to create a mood and tell a visual story.

This piece was created by Communication Design Diploma graduate Jason Thompson, currently working as a Project Support Specialist at Medium Rare Interactive Inc., when he was a student in our Computer Graphics course.

Prepping for this fall's Graphic Design and Branding course, these great packaging designs for craft brewing keep coming up! 🍺

This one by Communication Design Development graduate Jennifer Thornton-Hughes when she was a student is just so playful and fun! Doesn’t it make you want to dig your backpack out and head off on an adventure? 🎒

CHECK OUT the new Special Olympics Comox Valley website created by instructor Meg Wilson and Web and Mobile App Development Diploma graduate Trevor Jacob!

Working within a very strictly defined design system while at the same time allowing the local spirit to come through can be a real challenge, but these two made it work.

So great to see our graduates putting their skills to work on projects that make a difference in our community! 👏
