Have you seen Warrington & Vale Royal College’s
eye-catching new bus wrap?
Warrington & Vale Royal College
unveiled a striking new wrap
for its dedicated college bus,
designed by Graphic Design
students Téa Hewitt and Imogen
Sandbach, with the help of their
fellow classmates.
The eye-catching bus transports
students from Winsford and
Northwich to the college’s
Warrington campus.
The design is high impact,
featuring illustrations of Warrington
and Northwich landmarks, set
amongst blue skies and lush
green landscapes.
Imogen, who has since progressed
to Loughborough University to
study Graphic Communications
with Illustration, couldn’t contain
her excitement upon first seeing
the college bus, exclaiming: “It’s
fantastic to see our design come
to life. Knowing that hundreds of
people will see our artwork every
day as they’re driving through
Cheshire is surreal.”
Warrington’s Own Buses, partners
of Warrington & Vale Royal College,
were happy to co-ordinate the
bus wrap as part of their ongoing
contract, providing transport for the
college’s 16-18 year old students
on bus routes via Irlam, Leigh,
Northwich and Winsford.
Gareth Mead, Head of Commercial
at Warrington’s Own Buses,
commented: “We’ve five wrapped
buses at our Warrington depot and
are pleased to add this one to our
fleet. It was a brilliant and unique
opportunity for the college’s graphic
design students, and we’re proud
to highlight some of the wonderful
landmarks we have in Cheshire.”
Former St Nicholas Catholic High
School student, Téa, cannot wait
to add the special commission
to her portfolio, claiming: “It was
such a brilliant experience that will
certainly help us to stand out to
prospective employers.
“We were given live briefs
throughout our graphic design
course at college which gave us
a head start and prepared us for
university. Our tutors were lovely
and so supportive. We can’t thank
them enough!”
Téa is currently studying Graphic
Design at the University of
Huddersfield.
