Julie Ingham with Villeroy & Boch wins the Red Dot design Award 2012

The Red Dot Design Award is widely recognised as a seal of quality for good design. The award attracts over four thousand submissions every year, all vying for this coveted prize.
All entries to the competition are assessed by recognised design experts for their fusion of style and substance. In Villeroy & Boch’s ‘My Nature’ bathroom collection the first thing that grabs your attention is Julie Ingham’s delicate graphic rendering.
In its soft detail the design compliments the product’s smooth lines and echoes the curve and fluidity of the form. In Julie’s design we have the perfect example of how a great image can compliment a great product.

Several other artists were asked to work on the same idea, based around the theme “collaboration”, but Petra impressed the judges with her stylish rendition, and made it to the cover!

Dettol

Pastiche illustrator Garry Walton produced a series of artworks for Dettol hand soap.  The brief, to create a trash bag, old shoe and toilet pan out of hand shadow puppets, in a medical journal style, was quite a challenge, but utilized Garry’s versatility as an artist perfectly.
