Four groups vie for Nesta work

Nesta is to ask groups to pitch for print design work, as the organisation looks to step up promotional efforts for the second year of its Graduate Pioneer Programme.

Four groups – Browns, Blast, Graphic Thought Facility and NB Studio – are in the running, with a decision expected in the first week of September. Blast and Hat-Trick have designed work for the group in the past. The programme supports up to 65 design graduates a year in launching business ideas.
