AUK Department of Art and Graphic Design Hosts Lecture by Pace Architecture Firm

AUK Department of Art and Graphic Design hosted a lecture by the PACE Architecture Firm, a leading multidisciplinary consultancy firm based in the Middle East. The lecture was organized by associate professor of graphic design, Dr. Maryam Hosseinnia, for her Professional Practice course. 

Invited to give this talk were HR director at PACE, Joe Graham; and AUK alumna, Amena El Ezaby, the lead graphic designer, signage, environmental graphics, and wayfinding design manager at PACE since 2012. 

Graham began by discussing resume-writing and the components that make a CV successful. He detailed the mistakes students make when drafting their CV’s and drew upon his expertise to advise them on what language, style, and techniques to use.

El Ezaby discussed how students can digitalize their portfolio and how to best choose the platform, theme, and style. She highlighted the importance of branding, good web design, concise language, and incorporating the creative process. 

AUK consistently provides students with the opportunity to learn from industry experts to apply key theoretical concepts to real-life experiences which better prepares them for the job market after graduation.
