Posted on 22. Oct, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Totally Whack

In addition to being crowned Rugby World Champions, South Africans are on a winning streak.

VISI magazine recently walked away with a Gold Ozzie Award at this year’s Folio Awards held in September in New York. The award was won in the category for ‘Best Cover for Consumer Magazines with a Circulation under 250 000′.

The cover was designed by guest art director Peet Pienaar for the Spring 2006 issue of VISI. [thanks Raiël]

…and…

A young graffiti artist and design student from Crawford in Cape Town, 21-year-old Cara Judd, has been awarded a prestigious design prize that will result in her winning storage  product  being sold in selected Woolworths stores.

Cara will also enjoy a one-month internship at the prestigious London design firm Conran & Partners, under the personal mentorship of director Sebastian Conran, the Elle Decoration Solve 2007 competition’s international judge.

Cara’s shelving design, called Drip, was chosen from over 160 student entries.  All five finalists were women, with three of the finalists  – including Cara – from the Design Time School of Interior Design in Cape Town. [thanks Judy]

More shooters all round.
