Students on the Children's Book Design module visited the National Archives at Kew, London this week to meet their clients: Rachel Hillman and Hanah Carter of the National Archives Education Team.
They have been tasked with developing concept spreads and cover artwork for a new National Archives Key Stage 2/3 level eBook based around artifacts and documents on site. This will be the second eBook our students have helped create - with the first one being about Significant People from the past.
Here's a few pictures from the workshops and amazing site tour had:
