Week Eight\u2019s SoUL Fest get to enjoy its very own Snapchat filter – thanks to UL student Liam Lennon. Music, Media and Performance Technology student, Liam is currently doing his Co-Op in the Student Union\u2019s Marketing and Communications Office where he created the filter. <\/p>\n
The filter is available to use around campus from the beginning of the event on October 24th until the evening of October 28th. Liam said that he drew the design first and then created it on Adobe Illustrator. The process of creating the filter took a few days before it got approval from Team Snapchat. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe were trying to make one for Freshers\u2019 Week but we ran out of time so we made sure to plan this one in advance,\u201d Liam said. <\/p>\n
Students\u2019 Union Clubs and Societies Coordinator Michelle Whyte who organised the SoUL Arts Fest only had words of praise for the new Snapchat filter. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m delighted that it got passed by Team Snapchat as it\u2019s such a rare thing to happen,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Ms Whyte said having a filter to represent the event will have great impact on UL C&S. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think that it will really help towards promoting the societies of UL for this Arts Festival week because it\u2019s something that everyone will have access to.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Snapchat is so popular at the moment, the filter will bring more publicity to all of the societies and bring the SoUL Fest into the mind of more people,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
