Graphic design student wins National Silver Student ADDY
|
|
|
This summer when Radford University senior graphic design student Paul Gartner found out he won a National Student Silver ADDY in the annual American Advertising Federation’s competition, he was calm and introspective.
He seemed more thoughtful about Brexit than the prestige of this lofty award. But then again, Gartner’s ability to focus his attention on one thing, to an almost obsessive level of detail, is the quality that helped him win the ADDY.
Gartner’s entry, Mug Hard Root Beer, originally created for the Packaging Design class, won in the packaging category.
“To take a vintage look and outdo what other companies do, to take something to its logical extreme – you don’t get more old fashioned or 19th century than having a corked bottle,” Gartner said about his winning design.
