We’ve had the privilege of working with Prince's Trust on a programme of learning Makerversity focused on helping young people get started in graphic design.

Organised by Tina Gorjanc , we collaborated with fellow Makerversity residents Sille Eva Bertelsen, Pete Barr, Zoë Bather and Robbie Spotswood on a series of workshops that asked participants to create a concept to engage the public with issues of sustainability. Their ideas were realised through a physical placard and accompanying short video.

We had a huge amount of fun working with Oleata, Niki, Lucy, James, Ross and Aaron (left to right on the first photo), who achieved some amazing outcomes. Well done all, awesome work 👏👏👏
