Roulette 2022 & 23
Our student competition celebrates creative excellence and offers opportunities to graphic design students as they start their careers.
Roulette was inspired by the success of Cam’s final project – Paralysed by Perfectionism – which was created as a response to Roulette.
In 2021-22 and 2022-23, The CDCT collaborated with SODA Studio in London to offer finalists from the University of Lincoln mentoring and internship opportunities in addition to us showcasing their work.
From 2023-24, Roulette evolved into a much larger competition, with all six universities involved, and ten incredible studios taking part.
12 starting statements.
One roulette wheel.
No rules.
Countless ways of interpretation
Cam’s Roulette project began with his starting statement – I am the lie – where he addressed his own feelings about perfectionism. Other students interpreted the statement in different ways – Erin looked at camoflage, climate change and global warming; Andrew explored the idea of false memories typographically; and Ella created a vegetarian food brand with vegetables ‘dressed as meat’. All students approached the project with their portfolios and aspirations in mind.
