Sarah approached the Tresham College Art & Design Department for help and they took the opportunity to incorporate the challenge into their course curriculum. Students submitted their designs of Hazel Bean from a brief and Gemmaâs illustrations were chosen for the publication.
âBrilliant images are essential for a childrenâs book to help draw them into the story.  Gemmaâs designs were amazing, she has captured the cheeky character of Hazel perfectly,â said Sarah.
The books are fun but also help to guide parents, and anyone who is supporting childrenâs learning, through issues such as sharing and learning to take turns. The first publication âHazel Bean learns to take turnsâ will be available on Amazon once complete.
Guy Newton, Head of Creative Art & Media at Tresham College believes working on industry briefs such as this are important for students.
âWe regularly work with external organisations as industry briefs give our students great work experience. Production deadlines and having to adapt ideas for a client helps to prepare students for working in the industry,â said Guy.
