Design students are to get work experience on the London 2012 medal ceremonies, it has been announced. Royal College of Art (RCA) post graduates will have a hand in the design of the podium, costumes, flower holders and trays which will carry the medals and flowers during the Olympics and Paralympics.
Around 250 trays and 6,000 flower holders will be used in the ceremonies.
The students will work with industry professionals through to the 770-plus ceremonies that will take place at 29 different venues.

London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton described it as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for the post graduates, while RCA rector Dr Paul Thompson said it was "a great honor" to be involved.
Mr Deighton said: "We look forward to seeing their proposals, then teaming them up with industry professionals to realize their designs which will be seen by a global audience at the greatest show on earth."
Next, the high street fashion chain which is London 2012's official clothing and home ware supplier, will work with the RCA students on their designs to produce all the costumes for the ceremonies.
These include the costumes for the escorts who accompany the athletes and the medal presenters plus the medal and flower bearers.
Professor Wendy Dagworthy, the RCA's head of the School of Fashion and Textiles, said: "To have their work viewed by millions of people is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and our fashion students are very excited to be involved with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games."
