Testimonial
The graphics course presented by one of Britain's leading exponents of
visual journalism is crammed full of good ideas, practical tips and fast
track short cuts to lively pages. Peter Sands customised our course after I
asked attendees (news desk, photographers and graphic artists) what they
would most like to learn and they all gave enthusiastic feedback. The visual
impact of the newspaper improved from that week on.
