A POSTER designed by a Taunton work experience student will be featured on a countywide poster campaign.

Becky Williams,15, wowed bosses on a recent work experience placement at Connexions, in Taunton, where she spent a week in the graphics department.

Charlotte Summersby, graphics and marketing assistant, said: "I set Becky the task of designing a poster for the start of the new term in September, and as the project progressed I realised she was an excellent illustrator with real talent."

"We had been looking for new characters to use on posters, and Ricky and Roxy, the two characters created by Becky were just what we had been looking for."

Becky's poster will be displayed in secondary schools across Somerset at the beginning of the new term.

Becky said; "I had a fantastic week and learnt so much.

"I never imagined for one minute that my design would be used for an actual poster that will be seen by thousands of pupils all over Somerset."
