Above is Student of the Year (from University College for the Creative Arts at Farnham) Scott Evans’ extensively researched music video The Clock - which details the detrimental footprint of everything he does, looking at fuel emissions, laptop manufacturing processes and more, much more…

Last week D&AD announced the winners of this year’s student awards. We’ve made a selection of work that took first prizes below.

GRAPHIC DESIGN:

Daniel Foster Smith of Northumbria University’s Stuff-O-Meter won him a first prize. For the project he devised a Tree graphic that can be adapted and utilised to show what different products are made up of so they can be evaluated at a glance – in terms of their environmental impact

Central Saint Martins student Live Bergitte Molvaer also created a tree like graphic - but for Coutts

Nick O’Brien of Kingston University created this poster to promote a Horror Film Festival - using type appropriately created from images of screaming faces

ADVERTISING:

Winners in the advertising category included Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College’s Anya Müller and Nick Shay’s Sign Online campaign (stills shown above)for energy supplier nPower. A man travels towards a circular saw on a conveyor belt. Using your mouse to press the ’save’ button stops the potential pain - thus extablishing how easy it is to “save”

Drew Glafcke and Ian Flacon of The Creative Circus took a first prize for their ads for image library Corbis

One of Beckmans School of Design students Erik Norenankar and Anders Lövgren’s ads promoting HIV Vaccination - which won them a first prize.

This first prize winning campaign to raise awareness of charity Shelter’s work is by Henry Sly of Somerset College. Top is an example of the sticker / poster and bottom is an example of how it can be applied

Ryan Tym of University College Falmouth created this fridge-magnet style campaign for Lonely Planet, the idea being that you “make your own adventure”

Two of three first-prize winning ads by Danaya Bunnag, Komal Ghai and Eisha Maskara of Central Saint Martins for Grazia magazine - which won the trio a first prize for utilizing well-crafted photography

PACKAGING:

The above three images show off Central Saint Martins’ student Steve Haslip’s first prize-winning project, Hangerpak. The idea is that T-shirts or items of clothing can be sent in a pack that, on following simple instructions, can be made into a coathanger - thus cutting down on packaging waste by giving it a further use
