David Holcroft, a graphic design tutor at Pendleton College in Salford, sent us details of a recent project that his 16 and 17 year old students took on: design a cover for CR. We thought their efforts were great, so wanted to share them on the blog...





David emailed a PDF of the project, in which he asked the students to create a cover and a two page article on a design studio or ad agency of their choosing. All the students are in their first year of studying graphic design as a BTEC national diploma at Pendleton College. The project is the result of their first experiments with InDesign.





The brief for the students was as follows: "Over the next few months the magazine wishes to run a feature on some of the country's best contemporary design agencies. It will be your job to create a front cover that communicates an appropriate message for one of these agencies: BBH, TBWA, Pentagram, The Chase, Saatchi & Saatchi, BBDO Abbott Mead Vickers, Fallon, Love Creative, Spin, NB: Studio, Leo Burnett, Wolff Olins, BMB, Ogilvy, Non-Format, Why Not Associates, St Lukes, McCann Erickson, Barnbrook, and Poke."
