What a night! Daffy bags 3 dots @ the red dot (2 design concepts & 1 best of best), her broadcast entry received recognition at the inaugural red dot design award. The night was full of industrial and product design professionals; whereas broadcast, print, packaging and fashion etc only made up maybe like 20% of the exhibits.
After the award presentation, one of the winners came up to congratulate us, in fact I have nothing to do with the win, and then he went on to ask some irrelevant question, "How big is your firm?", "How many people are working in your firm?" I would expect him to ask about her work & her inspiration. We were speechless apparently and tried to explain, but i think he wasn't paying attention. I also did try to point out to him that we are in the print industry, he looked confused and didn't care... He went on again "Do you design computers?" At this point both of us look at one another and hope we can just vanish with the smoke in the room. We did actually, we managed to perform leopard crawl and a somersault when the guy turned away, haha... It was much better going around looking at the exhibits then to entertain one who only knows about one industry and not bother about other areas of the design practice. I think we need to educate the public of what is Print and Graphic Design.
Well, then we decided to leave as our stomach has only got alcohol content... we left with some souvenirs though, 2 interesting corragated boxes with the red dot and chivas logo imprints on it :)
Most importantly, I am proud of Daffy.
