ID's design annual: Student Work

As I was going through the same design annual I found a selection of winning student work. I think it's good for you to really look at other winning student work to see what kind of competition your working against.

This was an informative movie clip/commercial that is about the climate. It gets plus points from me because one, its not green, two, there is no Al Gore, three, I haven't heard of any similar concepts. Here's the description...

" FROM THE VERY FIRST SECOND of this 30-second PSA, the jurors were riveted.  A wide-eyed school girl in braids and a uniform looks on as a panel debates the necessity of spending trillions of dollars on climate change—all the while, black smoke wafts out of their mouths and noses. One talking head asks, “I’ve been around for a long time and I’m seeing no ill effects from this so-called climate change—are you?” The answer is obvious as the girl wipes greasy black ashes off a desk. The panel members then tilt their heads up, open wide, and blow a thick, steady stream of black smoke while this message appears on the screen: “Let’s stop blowing smoke about climate change. Our future needs action.”"

 

This is a computer, obviously. But the student painstakingly made it/packaged it out of cardboard. It includes everything that a regular computer has, the only issue the student found was of course, durability. I thought it was kinda dadaist..

This I thought was interesting even though I think the description makes it hard to understand. It's a statistic book. So the whole idea is when trying to figure out your caloric intake or something that you would get something visually pleasing to look at instead of a lame bar graph. Pretty cool, but I don't think it's very original.
