This course has always been greatly valued in industry, as this year’s graduates discovered. Celeste explains, “Students had much interest after their London show. All students were offered graduate placements at Vibrandt and at EMI Music as a result of their work. Designers looked at the results of the projects they had instigated including BSkyB, the TV company, and Redroom, the design team at EMI Music, who worked closely with the College on project briefs.”

Six weeks after completing their course, two students reported back:

Gary Lovelock, “Since leaving Dunstable College I have been working at a local company called Murphy Varley Ltd as a Junior Graphic Designer, working with such clients as Volkswagen, Frosts and Hatters.”

Gemma Loosley, “I have been for two interviews at Dodo, Mammoth, Reindeer & Fox in Newport Pagnell and have been offered a job!!! I start in 3 weeks. They were really impressed with my portfolio, liked my work and the concepts behind it. I'm really excited and looking forward to it!”
