At last I’m turning an idea I’ve had for ages, into reality. For over a year now I’ve wanted to re-vamp our Individual Learning Plan (ILP) for ESOL learners. Like most colleges we use boring tick box forms to record starting points, mid-course reviews and summative feedback. Dull. So very dull.

Do you remember my mentioning meeting Lauren Powter at Mad Lab a few weeks ago? Well, I decided to ask her to design some folded ‘beak books’ with funky graphics ready for our new academic term. Lauren is going to make an ESOL ILP and a cute fold up ‘seasons’ booklet. I can’t wait to see them.

No wonder Lauren’s so talented, both her parents are photographers. Her father is the renowned wedding photographer Lee Avison.
