A Fulford School Student has won a design competition in association with Xing Smoothies, York.

Year 8 pupil Tom Ames designed the winning poster, chosen by company staff.

Manager Simon Long said: “The thing that made Tom’s entry stand out was the way he created movement in all of his designs. They had a lot of character and the designs themselves looked very professional.”

The competition was set up by Nick Jackson, Fulford School’s head of IT, who said: “The competition was a good opportunity for independent learning. The use of the software and the design aspect was almost entirely self-taught.”

The Fulford Smoothie, made with strawberries, strawberry frozen yoghurt and orange juice, is now on the Xing menu, along with Tom’s designs, and his poster is in the show in the shop window.
