Adobe Design Achievement Awards

Adobe announced the winners of the seventh annual Adobe Design Achievement Awards. The premier student design and film competition honors the most talented and promising student graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators, digital filmmakers, and computer artists from the world's top educational institutions. Using the latest Adobe products, more than 2,500 students from 30 countries competed in the program.
"Recognizing student achievement in the creative arts is an important part of our ongoing commitment to design education," said Ann Lewnes, senior vice president of corporate marketing at Adobe. "The Design Achievement Awards gives students an opportunity to create engaging digital experiences that can be shared with peers and creative luminaries from around the world."

"The Design Achievement Awards allowed me to meet and learn from other students - incredibly talented and humble individuals - from around the world," said Amy Wang from the School of Visual Arts in New York and the 2006 winner in the Environment Graphics and Packaging category. "That experience made me a better designer and expanded the opportunities and resources available to me at a point when I was just beginning my career."

In a ceremony last night at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, students were recognized for their achievements in nine categories:

-- In the Animation category the winner was Axel Broetje of Braunschweig University of Art in Germany, and the finalists were Johnny Kelly of the Royal College of Art in London, and Sean Monahan of Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
