D&AD Awards

Congratulations to Stuart Sutch, who won 1st Prize for the Graphic Design Packaging 2009 D&AD Student Awards.

Stuart was awarded the Yellow Pencil Award, certificate and £750.00.

"The brief was to design packaging and a point of sale for Homebase's new 'grow your own' fruit and vegetable range. I always aim to produce something a little bit different and I feel I achieved that with this brief. Winning the award is definitely my most proudest moment yet, but hopefully is just the beginning of my career in graphic design."
