● Silver Award TOUCH // Kenichi SATO (Japan)

I wanted to make a funny poster. I tried to express the moment of touching a soft object with a transformed poster. As if to touch the hearts of loved ones. As if to touch the bodies of loved ones.

● Gold Award Broke‧Touch - Eye/ Ear/ Nose/ Tongue/ Body/ Mind // SHI Cheng (Mainland China)

If we don’t use our senses, we will not sense anything. Eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind are the six senses to feel the world. Our perception of the outside world comes from our senses which enable perception, and what we perceive is the outside world. By using our senses, we perceive; by not using them, we don’t. If we cut off our six senses and turn inwards, we will be able to feel our heart and inner self, thus freeing ourselves. Cutting off the senses means detaching oneself from the outside world and ending its perception, and pure thoughts will ensue. When the senses are stopped, all physical and mental sufferings in life will also come to an end.

● Bronze Award Dean M. 2015 // pororoca (Japan) These are 2014-15 winter season campaign posters for Dean M., a Tokyo-based apparel brand. The campaign theme is “deconstruction”. In order to express the concept, I chose to create photo-collage by using several different toned photos and made them into a series of three posters.

KANON PANCAKES is a pancake café in Sapporo, Japan. Its pancake is characterised by its fluffy texture. So, I tried to express this texture in a unique way by bouncing people up and down on the pancakes

● Gold Award  Parco Lily FW14, SS15 // M/M (Paris) (France)

In 1987, when we were studying graphic design in Paris, the Parco advertising campaigns were, for us, strong landmarks in the graphic design landscape. Those graphic art pieces helped the two of us strengthen our belief that both art and commerce could nourish each other to create contemporary culture. In 2014, we were approached by the Parco Corporation to revive the name of this brand. We took this assignment very seriously as we felt an urgency to prove that it was possible in our present time to reinterpret the spirit that was displayed in the glorious era of this brand. Parco was built as a forward-thinking retail concept within the world of fashion. It needed to be promoted by the same forward-thinking approach in its communication strategies. In that progressive context, only adventurous images beyond a viewer’s expectation could sustain that creative flow. We made a strong creative decision that we needed to build our proposals throughout a complete year, to eventually create a seasonal rendezvous. Fashion is about a sophisticated articulation between a time frame or capsule and its inhabitants; we turned this matter of fact into a visual statement by commissioning internationally acclaimed fashion photographers to produce the images we wanted. For the project Parco Lily FW14, SS15, we invited Viviane Sassen as a photographer and model Lily McMenamy as a performer to contribute with their eyes, brains and hearts. This creative strategy brings a more polyphonic texture to the image. It becomes a sum of personal expressions, an articulation of points of view that we, as “conductors”, are turning into a visual symphony.

● Judges Award (Selected by Ariane Spanier) Open Days // Till LAUER (Switzerland)

Designed for the 2014 Open Days of the Lucerne School of Art and Design. The event is announced by the golden type and temptingly discovered by the mysterious muse in the black gown made of brushstrokes. It is also a reference to a classic Swiss poster PKZ-Poster in 1934 by Niklaus Stoecklin, even though this poster stands completely by itself.

● Judges Award (Selected by Kjell Ekhorn) A Thousand of Wind // PARK Kum-jun (South Korea)

"A Thousand of Wind" Let there be music In every breath of wind Let there be dance In every breath of wind Let there be true wind In every breath of wind In a thousand of wind “How does wind leave traces of its path? How can it be remembered?” Poet and social cultural activist Kim You-chul portrays the invisible currents of air as music, dance, and true wind through his poem A Thousand of Wind. This poem was written to memorialise the 304 victims of the Sewol ferry disaster that occurred on 16 April 2014, most of whom were young students. I placed each stanza of Kim’s poem on one screen. The characters were cut from wood, trimmed, and laid out to form the poem, while drawings combined with twigs represent wind and its imaginative journey. The metaphorical breaths, reminiscent of wind, and the playful variations of words represent my exploration of the formative beauty of the poem and picturesque characteristics of Hangeul.

 ● Bronze Award Show & Tell Kick Off // Bureau Progressiv (Germany)

The design shows the main aspects and the power of show and tell – to watch, to hear, to talk. The workaday life of graphic designers is often influenced by competitive thinking. “Show & Tell” on the other hand is a gathering event of graphic designers who are willing to show each other their way of thinking, their sketches and their obstacles in workaday life.
