Our 2nd years students have just completed a live project for BBC History Magazine. Their brief was to illustrate an opening double page spread for their 'Books of the Year 2024' feature in the Christmas Issue of the magazine. The magazine will be featuring top history books from 2024 selected by well known people.
The students had to combine elements of History with books and leave space for the title and the standfirst (a small opening paragraph)
Some really great and varied work that tackles the subject in many different and interesting ways - well done all!
One will be chosen by the magazine to feature in the magazine and several will be selected to appear on their social media channels. Good luck!
