Welcome to Aston Inspired
Aston Inspired is the annual design exhibition put on by the design graduates of Aston University in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The students showcase their concepts and findings during the event. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic this year we cannot present our prototypes to you in person but here you can have a browse and contact students for more information.
​
There are a number of different categories of projects that you can visit during the exhibit.
​
The design show and marketing materials (brochures, posters, social accounts and websites) are created by a team of final year students, working with members of staff, thus reflecting the students' design skills, creativity and knowledge.
