Case Study

Blackpool Sixth Form College

Client: Blackpool Sixth Form College

Sector: Education

Description: 2013-14 prospectus, advertising and print

The challenge

The Blackpool Sixth Form College serves the Fylde and surrounding areas of Lancashire. It has around 1,900

full-time students aged between 16 and 19 taking both traditional academic subjects and modern applied

programmes. The College approached GSD® to develop prospectus, advertising and print projects.

The solution

• A ‘sharp’, colourful prospectus featuring powerful student photography.

• A flexible design that translates effectively into supporting advertising material and print.

The result

• More enquiries for course places on both the College’s academic and vocational programmes

• Raised profile as a modern, go-ahead college in tune with local needs

The applause

“GSD designed and produced our Prospectus and several other pieces of marketing material for our college. The

creativity and high standard of the designs really captured the concept of our new brand identity. GSD were

excellent to work with from concept to the high standard of the completed publications.”
