Meet the judges

Jane Entwistle is the Creative Director at Entyce Creative and is closely involved with the competition.

Jane realised just how competitive the world of design is when she graduated and had to fight off hundreds of other candidates to secure her first role as a graphic designer.

The Entyce Design Competition means a lot to Jane, as she is very passionate about finding and nurturing great talent within graphic design.

Libby Entwisle is the Managing Director at Entyce Creative and she is keen to get as much out of the competition for the students as possible.

Being the organised one in the Entyce team, Libby likes to see the thought process behind the entries and values the supporting information that is entered.

This year has many more opportunities for students to see their work published, and Libby can’t wait to see the entries this year!

Amanda Le Bretton is the Fundraising and Marketing Manager at the Hospice of the Good Shepherd.

Amanda is certainly the one you need to impress as she will be on the look-out for designs that can be published or sent to production.

The opportunities for seeing your work produced are higher than ever this year.

Phil Crawford is one of the community fundraisers at The Hospice.

Phil is out and about at most of the events organised by The Hospice, so he will be on the keeping an eye out for some strong banner designs and promotional material as well as all other supporting designs!

If you get chance to pop along to one of the many fun events that are on, you will get a much clearer understanding of the requirements.

Emily Spedding is an extremely talented graphic designer based in the North West.

Emily was a category winner in the 2010 competition and landed a job at Entyce in early 2011.

Her keen eye for detail will really help to sift out the great from the exceptional. She was impressed with the standard of entries last year, but she has even higher expectations for the students this year. She strongly feels that anyone interested in design should be entering this competition.

Paul Vokaty is a Senior Web Developer at Entyce Creative. What Paul doesn’t know about coding really isn’t worth knowing!

Although Paul is definitely more of a ‘techi’ than a creative he certainly knows great design when he sees it.

As one of our categories focuses on web design, you should ensure you impress Paul with your designs.

Kathryn Jenkinson is Entyce’s fabulously talented copywriter.

Kathryn will be keeping her beady eye out for strong supporting copy throughout your work. Make sure you spell check everything! It’s a shame to let a good design down with a spelling or grammatical error. Kathryn will be looking out for clever strap-lines, so use your imagination to develop designs that go one step further.
