Poster competition emphasizes importance of the Library
VICTORY: Staff members from the Marketing Department and Library Services congratulate the students who designed the winning posters during a prize-giving ceremony at the Cape Town Campus Library
Monday, 11 August 2014
For academic excellence CPUT encourages its students to use the library’s resources.
The Marketing Department and Library Services embarked on a joint initiative which saw the second-year Advertising students square off to design and produce posters to encourage students to use the services of the CPUT libraries.
A library panel of adjudicators had fun deliberating over the winning posters and selected four winners. The prize-giving ceremony recently took place at the Cape Town Campus Library.
The ceremony was attended by staff members from both departments and each finalist explained their poster concept.
Mesuli Lostile was announced as the overall winner, Leigh-Anne Stober was second and Alain Moise Marora third. Leaney Barnard was awarded a special prize for the most eye-catching poster.
The prizes included folios, folders, bags and other branded goodies. A collage of the posters can be viewed at the Cape Town library and some posters will soon be placed at libraries on other campuses.
The posters focus on the recent redesigning of the space in the Cape Town Campus library, which included more computers in the lab, discussion areas, softer seats, round tables, plug points & wireless internet access for laptops. Other posters emphasize why students should use the resources of CPUT’s Library’s resources instead of the Internet.
“All the posters were judged according to the brief of promoting the services of the library,” says Senior Librarian Yunus Omar.
“The winning poster – CPUT Libraries collage - captured all the elements of the brief, namely advertising the modern, re-designed services and colourful spaces of the library.”
