The award was eventually won by Liam Tancock.

Can you loc8 me somewhere to live?

Loc8 me the student housing company have approached us to help them redesign their website, fliers and posters for this year. Last year we help them with their corporate image and fliers, and this year they have even more houses and so are looking for a massive push into the student market.

Designing for students can be tricky as everything has to be up to date with current fashions, yet because of our experience working with student aimed companies in the past we feel that this is right up our street.
