Creating hero images

A hero image is a large picture designed to represent ideas, issues or events.

Drawing on the hero image from Behind the Lines 2025 by cartoonist of the year Matt Golding, students will have the opportunity to consider an issue they are passionate about and turn it into a hero image.
