2012 – Re-design Competition

~ eskins ~ Leave a comment

For the last couple of years we have run a small competition for final year students to re-design http://www.ico.mmu.ac.uk/. The competition is sponsored by @OReillyMedia.

As a number of our students have gone direct into employment the take up for the competition was slow this year. In the end we extended the deadline and got three last minute entries:
