Artwork created by students on the Foundation Degree in Graphics and eMedia at Leicester College will go on display at Highcross Leicester later this year.

As part of their course, students at Leicester College have been invited to create the graphics, which will represent the partnership between Highcross and the college as well as Highcross' nominated charity of the year, Groundworks, to go on display at the centre. 

The graphics, which will have an environmental focus, will feature in the access corridor opposite Costa Coffee, and will be created to incorporate the Groundwork 'Bikes 4 All' initiative, which aims to provide products and services to schools, community groups, private organisations and companies and private individuals. 

In addition, the students have also been tasked to enliven the baby changing facilities on the lower mall, making them more family and child friendly. 

Jo Tallack, general manager at Highcross, said: "We have been working with Groundworks for a number of years now and the partnership we have created with Leicester College will service to not only highlight the work that the organisation promotes but also give the students on the Graphics and e-Media course an opportunity to display their works in a prominent location. 

"We're really looking forward to seeing some of the concepts and designs that the students have come up with and displaying them within the centre."

Nick Ruhl, lead trainer at Leicester College said "We are really excited to be working with Highcross and Groundworks, and the opportunity to design graphics for such organisations really impresses the learners. Those on the course have already produced some amazing concepts, and it is exciting to know that this may be the start of many projects that Leicester College, Highcross and Groundworks will be working on in collaboration."
