The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is proud to be a sponsor of the Southern Cross Packaging Awards because of their focus on fostering an interest in packaging in Australia’s young designers and graphics students.
As usual the standard was very high this year and the pack designs showed not only the skills the students have acquired but they also give an insight to FMCG marketers and packaging companies where the young consumers are focusing their attention in the fields of packaging.
This year the three winners in the AIP-sponsored Best Rationale Category were:
GOLD
Student Name: Deanne German
Institution: Faculty of Design, Swinburne University of Technology
Name of Entry: Milk That Can
SILVER
Student Name: Laura VanOosten
Institution: Bendigo Regional Institute of TAFE, VIC
Name of Entry: Aerodol
BRONZE
Student Name: Brandon Aranyosi
Institution: Faculty of Design, Swinburne University of Technology
Name of Entry: Medatot
AIP congratulates the winners for the time and effort they put into their proposals and says the PCA (Packaging Council of Australia) who organise the annual awards should be praised for the Awards Programme and its proposed expansion into Primary and Secondary schools.
The PCA Awards Presentation dinner will take place tonight, October 4, at the Savoy Ballroom of Melbourne's Grand Hyatt Hotel.
