Graduate profile:

John Benton

Creative director and co-founder, CRE8IVE, Canberra

2000 - graduated with a Bachelor of Graphic Design from the University of Canberra.

“Studying at UC really became the foundation for my career. It exposed me to most of the design principles that I now make a living from. It also provided a base for me to be able to continue learning. I have kept in touch with some of my lecturers and tutors which has been rewarding.

UC pioneered the teaching of website design as part of graphic design and encouraged us to be exposed to the possibilities of the internet. This was great because the industry was just starting to embrace digital communication and this gave me a real head start.”
