GOTYA IN THEIR SIGHTS!

Joseph Antonios, Emily Flanagan, Emily Bodey
(Sponsor – Design to Print) and Tomas Sabbatucci

Our Art Director Joseph Antonios was recently asked to be on a graphic design panel with Motherbird's, Jack Mussett and Principle Design's, Sash Fernando to judge the 2013 DIA VIC/TAS GOTYA. The GOTYA Award celebrates the best design graduates of 2012 from tertiary institutions in Victoria and Tasmania. 

After a comprehensive process, four worthy finalist were chosen: Tomas Sabbatucci, Seviora Citra, Emily Flanagan and Andrew Robertson. Each designer then presented their ideas, thoughts and solutions to the judges. After a robust discussion between the judges it was decided that two graduates should be awarded the honour.

Congratulations to both Tomas and Emily who went away with the prestigious GOTYA Award at the ceremony last week. We wish them and their fellow finalists the best for their futures and look forward to seeing them out in the industry.

Thanks to the Pordenone Chamber of Commerce in Italy and Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Melbourne, Michael Malignaggi from Nexus Designs recently had the great fortune of being invited to attend the new Happy Business To You Trade Fair in Pordenone.
Being only a short distance from Venice allowed Michael to take in the colour and pagent of Carnivale and pay a visit to the Biennale Library.
