How Not to Entice Prospective Students lesson #1

By a lovely quirk of type-size and perspective, this recruitment poster for Grimsby College remarkably achieves the complete opposite of what it originally set out to do. Perhaps the previous year group were particularly obnoxious? Nevertheless, it's always a risky word to use when there's a possibility that there might be something in the way of your poster.

Ha, I seem to remember seeing this years ago! If you think that's bad, you should see the new (well, at least 3 years old now) Grimsby College logo: http://www.grimsby.ac.uk

Lovely stuff.

I love the sign in Stockport train station.

"Stockport, home of Stockport College"

REALLY?! I was expecting it to be in Bolton..!
