IDEA Talks 2025
Favourite projects and highlights from IDEA School of Design first-year students
“From late-night studio sessions and field trips to Halloween parties and spontaneous moments, first year was filled with connection, creativity, and growth. Students bonded with classmates across all years, learned from inspiring instructors with industry experience, and gained confidence through critiques and collaboration. Exploring new mediums, experimenting with style, and sharing feedback helped many step outside their comfort zones. Whether laughing over ice cream or volunteering at design events, these moments sparked joy, motivation, and a deepened love for design.”
IDEA Talks ‘25
Capilano University’s IDEA Talks is a tradition to close out first year, before we set students loose for summer. Students are asked to bring an original or colour printout of their favourite 2 projects from this past year from any class, and be prepared to share 3 personal highlights from the past year, too. As IDEA Talks is part of IDES 132 Survey and Principles of Illustration II, attendance is anticipated and expected. Classroom critiques in a creative community are a highlight for IDEA School of Design students.
