Doncaster Hill Heritage Trail Brochure - Box Hill Institute student designs

With support from Manningham City Council, and in consultation with Council’s Graphic Designer, Box Hill Institute (Centre for Creative Studies) final year Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design students developed design options for the Doncaster Hill Heritage Trail in early 2010.

Student involvement in the project gave them the opportunity to be involved in a real life, funded arts project, and fostered employability and job skills. Skill development included general project management skills, working within a brief and set timeframes, managing budget constraints and networking/communicating with a range of stakeholders.

Council Officers briefed the students on the scope and background of the project and provided necessary information, style guidance, logos and images.

Box Hill students studying the second year of the Advanced Diploma of Music industry - Technical Production were also involved in the Heritage Trail project, producing the 12 audio clips on the soundposts.

Below is a selection of the student's brochure concepts. The quality and variety of work showcases the different ways of viewing Doncaster Hill’s heritage.

The final Doncaster Hill Heritage Trail brochure brought together various elements from a number of the students concepts.
