Recognition Day...

A brand new brief for a brand new module and whaddya know, it's a one weeker (for us anyway) courtesy of Cog Design. The idea and concept is as follows:

'Recognition Day (4th May) is one day in the year, that we celebrate an excuse to dispel cynicism, to reach out and say thank you.

Genuine praise is wonderful to receive and simple to give, but none of us do it enough. We want everyone to take a few minutes out of their day to tell others that they appreciate them. On Recognition Day it’s acceptable to suspend the barriers and to say thank you for the little things.

We are looking for challenging, interesting, exciting, awe inspiring, thought-provking visual responses to the concept of Recognition.Create your responses using a method that best suites your idea: paint, typeset, knit, sculpt, print, photograph, doodle, carve, crochet, engrave, stitch or draw. Capture your creation and send us your response.

We will choose sixteen of our favourite entries and publish them as A6 postcards. The postcards will be used as part of our annual celebration of kindness – Recognition Day.

Three financial awards are available to the students who best demonstrate a creative talent through an inspired response to the brief. Each of the three will also be considered for a three-week placement at Cog Design’s studio in Greenwich, South London.'

Sounds straight forward enough? Here's last years winner:


I think I've got a few ideas up my sleeve for this, stay tuned.
