Interviewed by Fiona-Jane Brown on 23/10/07.Transcript for compact disc Bib ID No 585208.Summary: This was the design competition workshop where the six winners from Meldrum and Turriff Academies came for a two-day workshop at Aberdeen College designing covers for the Project. They were Nick Breed and Kimberley Smith from Meldrum, and Finlay Milne, Eilidh MacInnes, Sam Murdoch and Duncan Henderson from Turriff. Sam and Duncan worked together on the Oldmeldrum design and speak about choosing an abstract colourful pattern. Eilidh and Kimberley came up with a design based on Eilidh's cartoon Turra Coo, while Kimberley put in the bridge. They made their design rear cover full of sunflowers to be cheery. Finlay and Nick produced a photographic cover for Ellon, using Nick's countryside photos and Finlay's drawings of mice and combine harvesters on the rear. Finlay talks proudly about his dad who is a farmer. Both Nick and Duncan being senior pupils, express a desire to go to art school, as did Kimberley, but she was in third year and had plenty time to think about. Everyone talks about how much they enjoy the workshop and a little about their background. Lynne Strachan, the designer, talks about how she is so impressed with the pupils' work and reckons she has some competition.
