Warrington students create Simpsons-inspired game for 10:10 Games
WARRINGTON and Vale Royal College's games design students have successfully completed an ambitious live brief. This was a collaboration with video game developer 10:10 Games. The students were given the task of designing a three-minute game slice. This was to be a creative fusion of the developer's first game, Funko Fusion, and the style and humour of The Simpsons. The brief was a test of both the students' technical skills and their creative vision. Working in teams, the students developed various game concepts, supported by detailed pitches and presentations. Their final responses to the brief were showcased at the college's Barton Theatre in front of seven senior members of the 10:10 Games team, including studio co-founder and college fellow Arthur Parsons. Throughout the project, the students received regular mentoring from the 10:10 Games team. These interactions were instrumental in helping the students understand the standards and expectations of a modern games studio. They also gave the students an opportunity to network with key industry contacts. Tutor Damien Coulson said: "The opportunities our students gain through this partnership with 10:10 Games are second to none. "Some university students don't experience anything this close to real-world development. "Our students leave college not only with the right skills but with industry experience and connections that give them a real edge." Former Sir Thomas Boteler C of E High School student Harry Farmer said: "Working on a live brief that combined Funko Fusion and The Simpsons was an amazing experience and fun as well as challenging. "The feedback we got has helped me understand how to work to a brief and prepared me for the realities of working in game development." Fellow student Jack Crossley added: "After a year at a different college, I joined this course because I saw the amazing work of former students and the college's links with key industry names like 10:10 Games. "It's been the best decision I've made. "I feel like this project has confirmed that I'm on the right path to my dream career." Live briefs are part of a broader strategy at Warrington and Vale Royal College to embed employer partnerships into their curriculum.

There's A Summer Mini Dress For Everyone – Here Are 15 Styles To Shop Now
Fashion is no stranger to a thigh-grazing hem. From its invention in the 1960s to its (even more) micro iterations over 50 years later, the mini dress has only gotten smaller and mightier with age. What the summer mini dress lacks in fabric, it makes up for in versatility. For SS25, designers continue to herald this diminutive wonder, in smock form at Chloé, pelted with polka dots at Prabal Gurung and Carolina Herrera, and buoyed by bubble hems at Stella McCartney and JW Anderson. Anderson also made a strong case for the slinky satin dress – as has Hailey Bieber on at least two recent trips to New York's Cafe Zaffri – while Coach and Sandy Liang used the fabric in pleasingly starchier forms. One could argue that a classic shift is the mini dress' most authentic iteration, since this was the shape that started it all in the 1960s. A simple black shift is always a good idea (Pamela Anderson is a fan), or consider something in leather (see Emilia Wickstead) or neon – or both, as at Gucci. What's more, the summer mini dress can be worn for practically any occasion, from marketing-hopping while on holiday to balmy nights spent dancing, and even more formal affairs; for example, Georgia May Jagger and Jourdan Dunn eschewed the usual midi or maxi dress for shorter styles at this year's Serpentine Summer Party. From bubble hems to Sixties-inspired shifts, airy smocks to satin styles, we've shortlisted the loveliest summer mini dresses, below. A bubble hem lends futuristic edge to the tried-and-trued mini dress. Ground the flouncy silhouette with ballet flats – or chunky loafers, as seen at JW Anderson and Victoria Beckham. Spotted: polka dots dainty and oversized at Patou, Prabal Gurung and Carolina Herrera. You can't go wrong with classic black and white, best accessorised with poppy-red lipstick. The satin summer mini dress comes in forms both slinky and structured, making it the perfect piece for parties and more formal events alike. Take cues from N°21's SS25 show, where a satin shift was styled with pointed flats and a messy beehive. The nightie dress is a heatwave marvel. Reach for smock styles in chiffon or cotton that have romantic, puffed sleeves and pretty smocked or shirred detailing, and finish things off with a generous helping of vintage jewellery. Riff on a Sixties sensibility with a sleeveless shift dress. A well-made one in classic black will see you through decades of wear, or opt for something a little more playful, in candyfloss-pink or nostalgic school checks. Mules or block-heel Mary Janes work well here. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
