Derby College
Role: Visual Design Concept
Derby College is one of the largest and most successful Further Education Colleges in the UK, offering a range of courses including GCSEs, A-levels, degrees, vocational courses, apprenticeships, courses for adult learners, and bespoke solutions for business.
The design needed to appeal to the college’s main demographic of 16-19 year olds, whilst remaining “grown-up” enough to engage with adult learners and business & industry partners. As Derby College already have their own in-house web team, the brief was to supply a visual design concept that could be built and maintained by the college’s developers.
