We are proud of the Internet-i-ness of our Design Awards Program: it's inclusive - 17 Categories, including the newest areas of creative practice; it's personal - entrants are encouraged to present their projects via video; it's international - with jury teams around the globe; and it breaks down communication barriers - results are announced live by the jury teams themselves.
When it came time to get all this across in the form of a printed promotional poster it was the genius of the guys at Zut Alors! to break it apart into the essential vernacular of the Internet—info-nuggets—and then mix in metaphor, discovery and some of those zany/beautiful moments that define the practice of design. The end artifact manages to merge form, subject and function, and does so with panache:
- Supple, its paper is CLASSIC CREST® Text SOLAR WHITE Supple Finish 100lb - from @neenahpaper
- Vivid, only 2 Colors: Black and PANTONE 802 - a NEON green that is irreproducible by today's computer display technologies
- Physical, 24 inches by 36 inches large and hails from Rhode Island
This is the last chance to get it—for free at least :)—and all you need to do is sign yourself up at our awards site. If, in true Internet fashion, you show your love for it/us/design by tweeting the hell out of our design awards program we'll get you a special limited-edition non-folded one!
