Summer Projects Are Live: Choose Your Creative Challenge
Summer’s here, and so are TICE Projects!
Whether you’re drawn to storytelling, photography, fashion, music, or cultural exploration, there’s a creative challenge waiting with your name on it. This season, we’ve opened up a fresh selection of inspiring projects designed for young creatives ready to dive into something meaningful, expressive, and totally their own.
With seven incredible projects now live, the question is: Which one will you choose?
New This Season
We’re thrilled to introduce three brand-new projects, each one bringing something different to the table and offering new creative ground to explore:
Kintentional Collage
Fashion meets storytelling in this mixed-media project where students create original collage-based fashion collections. Think moodboards, texture, shape, and self-expression through cut, paste and create. It’s fashion illustration, but not as you know it.
Echoes of Our Heritage
In partnership with Laing Art Gallery, this project invites you to craft a soundscape rooted in local culture and historical inspiration. Perfect for students curious about how audio, storytelling, and community come together to shape a place’s identity.
Witherwill
An illustration-led project with a poetic twist. Set around the theme “the art of letting go,” this journey explores emotion, visual metaphor, and mood through drawing, campaign building, and merchandise design. Deep, personal and beautifully expressive.
Back by Popular Demand
Some of your favourites have returned, ready to be reimagined by a new wave of talent:
Beyond the Buy
This fashion styling and communication project tackles fast fashion head-on. You’ll create trend-led looks using what’s already in your wardrobe and develop a mini social media campaign to share your message. It’s all about rethinking style, championing sustainability, and using fashion communication to inspire change.
Timekeepers
Explore how photography manipulates time and perception. From freeze frames to moments that stretch and slow, this fine art project is about capturing a concept, not just a picture.
Metamorph
Step into a visual storytelling project where photography, graphic design, and creative direction collide. In Metamorph, you'll explore themes of transformation and identity through styled shoots and digital composition, culminating in the creation of your own mini zine. It’s a space to experiment with aesthetics, layout, and meaning, perfect for aspiring visual communicators.
Melodies Without Borders
Music becomes a global language in this cross-cultural songwriting project. Students blend rhythms, lyrics and traditions from around the world to craft an original demo and pitch to a real artist or producer.
How It Works
Each project includes:
Guided video content and step-by-step tasks
Opportunities to experiment with new creative skills
Professional insight from industry mentors and collaborators
Space to build a personal creative portfolio or process book
And the best part? You can do it at your own pace, in your own style, from wherever you are.
