We are in the house for @northerndesignfestival ! Loving the @kanteenalancaster ! ✌️😀😎 .

We put our Year 1 students through their paces to present their live brief work for @proper_boozers - promoting the traditional pub experience through character led branding. . Presenting to year 2 and 3 students and lecturers is great experience to practice the skill of talking confidently about their concepts. Working in teams, students presented fun and engaging concepts - especially in that stalwart of the proper pub, the pub dog! 🍻🐾 . We encourage hand-created concepts as this is a cornerstone of our craft first philosophy here at @cumbriauni .

Head of Flock’s Toy Collection and Chief Postage Officer (Miles) has been hard at work posting out all our offer holder letters—hand printed in our letterpress department and hand delivered by a four year old’s bright orange trailer.
