Four student winners in Society of Publication Designers Awards 2022

The Society of Publication Designers Awards invites creatives across the world to enter. Based in New York, entries are judged by art directors working in publishing and magazine design.

Building upon last year’s win, four BA (Hons) Design for Publishing students are successful in this year’s awards.

The Society of Publication Designers (SPD) is an organisation dedicated to creatives who specialise in visual storytelling. 

Winner first place: Chloe Leeder

Chloe wins first place with her editorial design for the alternative rock band Wolf Alice. Additionally, she receives a Noteworthy Mention for a second project titled ‘Kyoto Rules’.

The prize for winning first place is mentoring over the summer months, along with $1,200 (approx. £980), and a feature on the SPD website.

Winner second place for Animated Gif Illustration: Willow Hall

Willow’s short stop motion animation of a man playing the guitar won second place in the animated gif category of the awards.

Winner third place: Lily Leeks

Lily’s editorial design for Ski Ballet comprises bold typography and a creative use of imagery, winning her third place in the competition.

Both Lily and Willow’s projects will be featured on the SPD website, and each student will receive a portfolio review by an SPD board member.

Noteworthy mention for two projects: Skye Williams

Skye Williams receives two noteworthy mentions for separate projects: one design depicting the digital age that Gen-Z lives in, and another on rhythmic gymnastics.
