Awards season reached fever pitch down in the Southern Hemisphere last week with the winners of New Zealand’s national design awards, Best, being revealed. A night of revelry ensued where a handful of shiny gold awards were sprinkled over the graphics category along with one top purple pin prize, awarded to Special Group for their work on Karma Cola, the all round good egg in the beverage category. The judges said, “The entry brought together a compelling piece of story telling with obvious craft and a strong singular idea that challenges a drinks segment dominated by the big players. Memorable, fresh, witty and with an underlying good cause. What’s not to like about a project that delivers good Karma?”
Other stand out winners for me were a couple of great pieces of corporate communications from Designworks for the Metservice and WW1 Centenary.
