Model Obaly a. s. has announced the shortlist for the 22nd year of the Young Package competition. More than 700 students and young designers from 57 countries competed this year, and BA (Hons) Graphic Design student Tom Lavin is shortlisted for one of the 8 prizes.
The theme this year was ‘Open & Play’, and the project idea that Tom developed certainly lives up to expectations. In discussing his approach to the project, Tom says:
“For this project I wanted to explore concepts of reusability, sustainability and recycling. The Re:Play kit is designed to allow the user to make models, toys and sculptural forms by recycling packaging materials. Starting with the ‘pop-out’ elements included in the package alongside the supplied tools, Re:Play users are encouraged to use creative thinking and playful experimentation as they explore materials and get inspired by their own creations.”
Graphic Design Course Leader Marc Austin said, “Tom deserves recognition for his hard work and innovative approach to problem solving. The Graphics team have seen Tom go from strength to strength during his 3 years with us, and we are delighted with this news.”
Tom will find out which of the prizes he has won when he flies out later in May for the award ceremony taking place in the DUP 36 club in Prague.
Good Luck Tom!
