SouthEssexColl southessexcollege southessexcollege southessexcollege 1 “I loved my time at the college. I spent many an evening and lunch in the print room or dark room, trying to make the most of all the great facilities. Even now it is rare to have access to so many great processes and knowledgeable technicians. I learnt so many techniques and skills that are still coming in useful every day, even if not practiced that regularly. I would highly recommend the course and college - In fact I do quite often!” Dom Chinea Studied Graphic Design and progressed to a BA in Graphic Design. Works as a production designer and is appearing on BBC’s The Repair Shop
