AWDA 2019
CAREER AWARD FOR HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT
Claudia Morgagni
(Milano, 1928-2002)
Italy
 

Claudia Morgagni receives the lifetime achievement as a acknowledgement of the figure of a graphic designer, an artist, a teacher, a mother, a woman who knew how to combine her different roles, her different interests, her passions, her skills and inclinations affirming with determination and perseverance, in an era when it was not at all simple, their professionalism and their way of interpreting it. Claudia Morgagni can be a reference model for designers and women, today and tomorrow.

 

 

 

AWDA 2019
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Lora Lamm
(Arosa, 1928)
Switzerland


Lora Lamm receives the career award for having built a language that was born in the rigors of the Swiss school to become a strongly characterized and authoritative system, dominated by simple forms, color, illustration. Marked by a "thoughtful lightness", she was able to describe, through an incisive communicative ability, the transformation of women and their emancipation, including that of graphic designers, of which she is one of the few examples recognized into the Graphic Design History.

 

 


FIRST PRIZE
AWDA 2019


Designer
Sylwia Bartoszewska
Project
THE VISUAL IMAGINARY OF THE POLISH NATIONAL PARKS

Design should not only be a professional activity, but also a cultural tool and a way of placing oneself in everyday life. The project receives the first prize ever for its ability to delve into a seemingly simple theme that goes beyond mere functional aspects.

 


Honourable Mention
Professionals Category

Designer
Carlotta Origoni
Project
THE VEIL IS SEEN ONLY WHEN IT IS LIFTED
 

The project receives an honourable mention for having had the ability to transfer complex content into an analog artifact that contains a high level of interactivity.

 

 

Honourable Mention
PhD, Researchers and Teachers Category

Designer
Orith Kolodny
Project
199 DRAPEAUX - FORMES, COULEURS ET MOTIFS

Orith Kolodny receives the honourable mention for the PhD, Researchers and Teachers Category for having developed a project that goes far beyond the graphic reading of the flags of the world, broken down into a taxonomic system of shapes and colors, in search of those minimum common multiples that unite and do not distinguish the emblems of each national identity. Finally, the project is transformed into an unusual atlas to read and look at.

 

Honourable Mention
Students Category


Designer
Laura Simonati
Project
UNFOLDING BRUSSELS. COLONIAL TRACES IN THE PUBLIC SPACE

Through a simple mechanism, that of tearing the pages, the gesture becomes metaphorical in showing the opposite situation between the two countries: Brussels and the Congo.

 

 

 

Special Mention
Professionals Category

Designers
Svanhild Vindenes Egge
Maria Bono

Project
DIGITAL REPORTS FOR THE OFFICE OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL OF NORWAY


The project is the classic example, not at all obvious, nor usual, of how design is at the service of the community, worthy for the enlightened client - a government that uses the tools of design - and worthy for the project itself that without falling into unnecessary decorativism becomes the instrument of access to information for individual citizens.

 

Special Mention
PhD, Researchers and Teachers Category


Designer
Tricia Treacy
Project
SLOT

Tricia Treacy receives special mention for the PhD, Researchers and Teachers Category. The acknowledgment, strongly requested by the jury, goes to the project for having been able to synthesize, in a visually contemporary way, a process of participatory construction of sense, experience, and identity. A project marked in every phase by experimentation as well as by the completeness of the process implemented. 

 

Special Mention
Students Category

Designer
Joy Gloria Harendza
Project
JAGOAN SOCIAL CAMPAIGN


A complex theme, that of harassment of women, faced with courage and irony, through a measured use of youth languages.

 

Special Mention
Students Category


Designer
Maryam Helida
Project
GUIDEBOOKS: HERITAGE EXPLORING OF TERNATE

A project of identity that does not fall into folkloristic languages but uses a chromatic system and pictograms in line with the international languages of design.

 

 

Shortlist of selected designers
31 projects for the Professionals Category, 11 projects for the PhD, Researchers and Teachers Category, 28 projects for the Students Category, which means a total of 70 projects, were judged worthy of publication in the volume dedicated to the fourth edition of AWDA.
