The first year media design students from Yorkshire Coast College were challenged to come up with an egg-cellent name and eye-catching poster to highlight Performing Arts students' latest show, The Easter Scramble.

Samantha Bayes' design was declared the winner and the 17 year-old, who is in the first year of a National Diploma Art and Design (Interactive Media) course, said she was thrilled her work had been chosen.

She said: "It was great to get involved with this project so soon after starting my course and it has given me an insight of what it would be like working in the industry as we had to work to a tight deadline.

"I wasn't 100 per cent sure what I wanted to do when I left school but am so pleased I chose graphic design as the course is brilliant and I definitely want to be a graphic designer."

The poster will be used to promote the variety show, which will be performed by students at the college's Westwood campus on March 18 and 19, and Performing Arts lecturer Maggie Slaughter said it was a great addition to the production.

She said: "Working with the design students has added a whole new dimension to our latest show. All of the posters were of a very high standard but Samantha's just had that little bit extra and we were all thrilled with her design which reflected everything about our show."
