Joint Student of the Year at 2009 D&AD Student Awards
LONDON: For only the second time in its 31-year history, the Student of the Year was awarded jointly at the D&AD Student Awards 2009 Ceremony in London last night, Thursday, 2 July 2009. Recipients were Petra Muda and Harri Leppala from Berghs School of Communication in Sweden and Micheline Mannion, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in the UK.
Muda and Leppala's entry ‘Find It' is a mobile phone application that would allow users to send a photo of any item they want to buy to the eBay site, which will then reply with its best match.
Mannion designed a solution to the Faber & Faber book cover brief, incorporating the publisher's new Print on Demand (PoD) service. It's described as a quirky take on the old-fashioned highlighter pen combined with cutting edge technology to create a personalised cover.
Identify best new talent
The Student Awards exist to identify the best new talent in advertising and design. Only the most innovative work that answers the brief and successfully breaks boundaries wins the top prize.
“When I see a great idea for the first time, my brain asks a whole series of questions: Is it original? Is it even possible? Is it the right solution for the brief and client? If the answer is ‘yes', then that's first part of what I call ‘the wow moment'. Then I move onto: Why hasn't it been done? And the killer: Why the bloody hell didn't I think of it first? And all this happens in a wonderful nano second,” said Greg Quinton, D&AD education chairman.
He continued, “The D&AD Student of the Year judging panel enjoyed the wow moment not once, but twice this year, firstly with Petra and Harri's ‘Find it' idea for the Ebay brief. So simple it was instantly and unanimously loved. We all want Ebay to launch it - now.
“Micheline's idea for the Faber and Faber brief was quieter but no less compelling. It answered a very real issue - is it possible to create beautiful books using new print on demand technology? Micheline found the solution within the problem and then crafted it elegantly. A beautifully executed idea will be a ‘wow' moment every time - so thank you both teams - and many congratulations!"
