Graphic Design & Illustration show....and tell.

June has been a busy time for students from Staffs......final assessments, degree show, then off down to London for D&AD New Blood at Spitalfields in the East End! Every year brings critical acclaim for the quality and standard of work and this year was no exception!

A handful of awards, offers of work placement and industry recognition in London, culminated in a very successful send-off for third year students, who officially graduate this Friday (13th July). Watch this space for pics....
