NWU designers are still shining in top competitions
They excel so consistently that we could easily become used to our graphic design students and graduates shining at the international Loerie Awards and national Pendoring Awards – but we should not.
Every time they shine, we should appreciate anew the creativity and skill from which the prize-winning art flows, and the way our dedicated lecturers awaken and direct these talents.
This year the distinctive talent and skills of the students and graduates again caught the judges’ eye, with NWU Graphic Design securing an overall fourth place among eight design institutions or schools in South Africa in the Pendoring rankings.
They also took home three silver awards in the Pendorings and a bronze award in the Loeries, and had five finalists in both competitions.
Winning praise at the Pendorings
Graphic Design has a proud legacy of excellence at the Pendorings, with many wins and accolades over the years. This year’s Pendoring Awards were announced via live broadcast on 4 November.
Carlia Janse van Rensburg’s The King and Queen of the Spice Route project was a finalist in both the General Design and Package Design categories, winning silver awards for both. “I conceptualised my project for Robertsons Spices,” she says. “I designed a card game, aimed at taking you back to the old spice routes.”
Anchen Badenhorst’s Zaan Kultuur project was a finalist in three categories. This included the category for Publication Design – Single Element and Student Design, which bagged the silver award. Anchen received craft certificates for the two other categories, namely for illustration and for typography in the Student Print, Design and Out of Home (OOH) Crafts category.
