“Graphics is my favourite subject in school, it allows me to express myself and create work that not only do I want to do, but that looks amazing! Mrs Heafield teaches us to experiment through Adobe Illustrator and produce work that could actually be sold in a shop!”

“All the mini projects we have done have taught me lots of skills, things that I didn’t know how to do before, now I have started my major project I have been allowed to pick my own topic that I am interested in, and I am just producing this amazing sketchbook that looks so cool!”
