Adobe Systems Incorporated today announced the winners of the fifth annual Adobe Design Achievement Awards, a program that honors talented student graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators, digital filmmakers and computer artists from the world's top design, film and broadcast schools. Using the latest Adobe products, more than 1,500 students from Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States competed in the annual competition.
"The Adobe Design Achievement Awards recognizes the talents of future creative professionals from around the world," said Melissa Dyrdahl, senior vice president of corporate marketing and communications at Adobe. "As we celebrate the program's fifth year, this competition continues to serve as a powerful way to recognize a new generation of creative professionals, showcase remarkable student work, and kick start some promising young careers."
In a ceremony last night at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, students were recognized for their achievements in nine categories.
As part of the awards program, Adobe organized a day of tours through New York's top studios. Twelve studios opened their doors to allow students to meet with the principals and see, first hand, how a professional studio operates. The studios include C&G Partners LLC, GQ Magazine, karlssonwilker, Inc., MTV Networks Creative Services, Number Seventeen, O, The Oprah Magazine, Ogilvy & Mather Brand Integration Group, PAPER Magazine, Pentagram, R/GA, Two Twelve Associates and VH-1.
Winners were selected based on overall impact, design execution and technical capabilities. Finalists received a trip to New York City to participate in the awards event, and to showcase their work. First place entries received US$5,000 and a selection of Adobe products. The winning entries can be viewed at www.adobe.com/education/winners .
