The International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD) promotes worldwide excellence in the use of typography. This highly prestigious accreditation scheme celebrates the very best of student work, the process is rigorous and the standards are exceptionally high. We are therefore delighted to have achieved accreditation for two of our students, Esther Barber and Emily Appleton from our BA (Hons) Graphic Arts & Design course (Now BA (Hons) Graphic Design).
