Colour design competition 2008 - grand final


The final of the SDC global design competition took place in Bradford just over a week ago - and what an inspirational event that was! At the awards dinner on the 'Day of Celebration', the winner was announced as Danielle Lewis from Colchester Institute (pictured). This dinner was a colourful culmination of two days that the 13 finalists had spent with each other and with the SDC in Bradford.

We will be detailing elsewhere more about how each of the students - all winners of their regional heats - made it through to the grand final, but for now we wanted to share their designs with you!
