<p><strong>Atlanta Hanes</strong></p> <p>“I did a switch to the Extended Diploma so that I could concentrate on one thing. I’m interested in graphic design partly because, in a way, you can include every other art subject in it, and I quite like the fact that there’s always a brief or a pathway to follow. It’s quite nice always to have that bit of direction. The teaching’s really good. They’re designers as well, so no-one ever says, ‘that’s no good’. They’ll say, why not try that, or, maybe you should change that around. Everything’s done in a lot more detail with the Diploma. This year it’s more like this is real graphic design. I’m learning real techniques.”</p> <p><br /><strong>Cameron Williamson</strong></p> <p>"I started doing sixth form but dropped out, unsure of what I wanted to study. I spent a couple of years unemployed, but I’d carried on drawing so decided to study Illustration. I’m going on to study BA (Hons) Illustration here. It’s about what you bring to it. I was always worried that I might fail after dropping out of school but I relaxed in the first week of being here."</p> <p><br /><strong>Gregory Trewartha-Jones</strong></p> <p>“I really like the individuality of the course and that you’re given the freedom to work independently. You learn about a variety of different subjects in a relaxed environment – and there’s great resources available too.”</p>
