Offering design work for students

[JNMann]

I would like to offer work for art/design students designing for my company. I think this would be beneficial on both sides, they would get a good part-time income and I would get original ideas in return.
My question is this, where can I advertise to get the students attention? I am contacting Universitys/Student Unions etc. but thus far nobody seems to want to reply.
This is a genuine oppurtunity, I currently use professional designers from around the world and can continue to do so at a highly competative rate but would sooner help students if possible.

why not give the details in full and we can perhaps tell you why you are not getting responses.

it could be the wording of your ad, or perhaps it sounds dodgy, no way to check it out, or perhaps you are asking too much of them....

joko could be right, students are under pressure to get their own work done as it is.

The designs at the moment are sports related but I am about to move on to a designer project.
I currently use several designers in different countries as this is the most economical way but I always like to try and find a way to get things done in the UK, so much goes abroad nowadays. I certainly wouldn't save any money working with students as my designers prices are extremely keen but I thought it may be beneficial to both parties.
I completely agree, this type of project is difficult to word without sounding like a "get paid �300 for 2 minutes work stuffing envelopes" type deal! and I know all too well how busy students are!
Thanks for the advice and comments, much appreciated.

most (if not all) universities have a careers office. Talk to them. They can sort the rest out, or else put you in contact with relevant heads of department etc.

Look on your local University's website for contact details.

Why not contact the area reporters for a couple of local newspaper in your area and explain what you're trying to do? Maybe they'll run a feature on you which may get wider coverage and reach a more diverse audience?
