Creative people work best in creative spaces. When time came to expand our studio space we thought it was time to add some creative inspiration to the walls.
As the expansion coincided with our first anniversary of business, we decided to hold a little competition. Our offices are on the Arts University Bournemouth campus. Every day we see their illustration students create incredible work. So we set them a brief to create an illustration around the five words that reflect our business: international, education, awards, partnerships and data.
The winners then face the challenge of getting their illustrations on to the back of a skateboard! When the results came in we were blown away. And so was the professional panel of illustrators, creative directors and designers we’d put together to give exposure to the students work.
After the pro panel, we put the work to the public vote on our Facebook page. The response was electric; we had over 30k impressions and hundreds of votes.
We’ve so enjoyed the process of working with tomorrow’s creative heroes we’ve set them two more briefs. And the walls of our studio look immeasurably more cool!
