To quote the press release:
'...received the Communications Design Award which recognized Cut and Paste: Preventing Visual Plagiarism and the whole project team for its ground-breaking design and commitment to thought leadership in meeting the needs of a positive future for society.
Lisa Winstanley was recognized for her team’s project on preventing visual plagiarism. The brief was to create an integrated visual system which would appeal to young designers in Singapore to guide them through complex topics via an active learning workshop. Collaterals include: a bespoke folder, book, bookmark, posters, & a custom designed stationery kit, all of which focus on culturally appropriate imagery and rich, real-world examples of visual plagiarism, homage, pastiche and parody.'
