CORONATION STREET
ITV
ART DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT
(JULY - SEPTEMBER 2019)
PRODUCTION DESIGNER:
ROSIE MULLINS-HOYLE
Following on from the four days of work experience which I completed at Coronation Street as part of my second year studies at university, I was employed as an Art Department Assistant for 12 weeks, before returning to university for my final year.
​
During my role as an Art Department Assistant, I was able to work alongside Art Directors to create both dressing and action props, carry out research for new characters and design window displays and dressings. I was able to work on my graphics skills to create dressings for new, and existing, sets for the show.
​
I also had the opportunity to work on the Coronation Street Manchester Pride Float, where the theme was 'Deep Space: A Future World of Equality'. This involved working within a large team to help make the designers vision come to life. Use the link below to see our creations!
During my time as an Art Department Assistant, I was able to design the Christmas window display at Preston's Petals, based on the idea that it was 'Santa's Workshop'! This included carrying out research, ordering materials, and completing technical drawings for the construction of some props.
