(List may need to be narrowed down & consolidated)
I've noticed something in the prospectus, the categories are divided as above, with each page containing information about 3 or 4 BTEC/Diploma subjects, whereas not much space is reserved for A level subjects. Although Lambeth offers Academic subjects, it is far more directed towards the vocational subjects - something we may want to emphasise on in the advertising. (or something that may need to be addressed to attract A level students)
Assuming students who do the BTEC (mostly 1-2 yr courses) would be singularly working on this subject, the assignment of avatars is not a big problem, but how do you categorise students doing A levels, who would be doing multiple courses.
I'm trying to avoid social stereotypes, for example the computer geek or the evil scientist etc... but this could work if executed well, and students are willing to "make fun of themselves" - this could add more personality to the characters, give them a bit more attitude etc...
What do you think?
