Congratulations Audrey Hudson

Please join me in congratulating Audrey Hudson, our colleague in the Faculty of Design, on her recent successful defense of her doctoral thesis entitled, "Decolonizing Indigenous Youth Studies: Photography and Hip Hop as Sites of Resilience". Audrey completed her research at University of Toronto/Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (UT/OISE), in the department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning.  Audrey holds a BFA from OCAD University, and an MEd from York University. She has been teaching at OCADU for the past four years, teaching in our Design colour courses, Think Tank and recently a course she developed and taught a course on the influence of hip hop on design. Audrey has also recently taught in ADEL, a cross appointed education-based course with OCADU and the AGO.

Congratulations Audrey!

If Star Wars had sports teams

​OCAD U student Matt Doyle has put his design talent to work by designing logos based on characters from Star Wars.

“After seeing the new Star Wars film, I was inspired by the amazing new costume art Disney had created for the characters. Simply, my goal was to portray these new characters in a style that would resonate with sports, and subtly connect two completely different worlds together through nothing more than a stylized illustration,” says Matt.
