BEYOND WINNER: Jesse Smith
Jesse Smith is recognized for executing an innovative and sustainable graphic design project, which he developed for his DAI 525 Graphic Design 3 class.
Here is a brief description:
Project Name: Slowly Translated
This piece is a graphic translation of the audio track, ‘Slowly’, by Amon Tobin. The final form and graphics were influenced by the melodic quality of his strolling soundscape. The use of recycled and found materials in this project created a dynamic process of exploration, driving the ideation and fabrication, while referencing the cut ‘n paste process of a sampled audio compilation.
As the winner of the Beyond Design Competition, Jesse received a certificate of recognition from the competition along with a t-shirt designed by a local organization called iDO (Industrial Design Outreach), who reaches out to young high schoolers and educates them on design basics, critical thinking skills, fabricating, etc. In addition, $100 will be donated to iDO on behalf of Jesse Smith.
I would like to thank everyone who participated in the event as well as everyone who helped out along the way. Be sure to check back in for future events!
