THE BRIEF…WHAT MAKES A WINNING ENTRY?
What the judges for 2020 are looking for is work of an outstanding and original nature where colour features as a fundamental element of the design which contributes significantly to its success.
The work should also have a notable positive effect on the user and the environment. This means that the designer must be able to demonstrate that there is more than just an aesthetic value to their designs.
Designers should consider these elements before submitting work:
Does your design work demonstrate?
-
Considered use of colour
-
The sustainability of materials and ethical manufacturing processes
-
The lifecycle of the design with relation to repurposing or recycling
-
A positive effect in relation to the user’s wellbeing beyond the above (does it make life better/easier?)
-
A colour application directly answering a problem
