It feels like it was only yesterday that Design Indaba 2013 took place and already the organisers are storming ahead with plans for the 2014 event!

At the International Poster and Graphic Design Festival in Chaumont, the winners have been announced for this year’s Student Competition. ARTS THREAD takes a look at the winning entries.

Netherlands-based designer Meta Menkveld graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague last summer. Her graduate project, Everything is Corn, raised awareness of the hidden amount of corn people consume and was made entirely from corn-based materials including cornflour, corn kernels. ARTS THREAD ask Meta a few questions to find out more about the project.

No graphic design student or graduate should be without a copy of Fully Booked: Ink on Paper, published by gestalten. In our digital age, book and other print publications have the freedom to move away from their traditional role, moving into an era that promises to be the most exciting in print’s history.

As part of Ventura Lambrate, the postgraduate Scuola Politecnica di Design SPD presented Call to Action! – great projects and an excellent example of exhibition display.
