'Besides graphic design, we also love football', Autobahn, winner of Utregse Diezijnprijs 2008.
The Utregse Diezijnprijs, the Netherlands' (if not the world's) fastest design competition, was successfully held on 25 September. For the event 86 designers showed up to submit projects, (along with 300-400 supporters) which were judged on the night alongside a range of festivities. Congratulations to the winners and runners ups.

Winner: FC Autobahn, Autobahn
A font inspired by the markings on a football/soccer pitch which was first designed for the Graphic Design Festival Breda 2008 poster. On the evening, the designers brought in mats of real grass and drew out their submission with a chalk chart.

Second: Ventura light, Leo Krol and Vincent de Rijk

Third: BEARables, Esther Nijdam
A collection of seven soft animals that look like ordinary cuddly toys but in fact have some kind of iilment like for example a rash, tumor or broken limb. These toys are like 'patients' that teach children about the idea of caring and allows them to learn about sickness and health.

BEARables
Kameel met zonneallergie (PMLE)...

Materialen: textiel, polychrome pigmenten

Concept: Als deze knuffel wordt blootgesteld aan UV-licht, krijgt hij uitslag over zijn hele lichaam. Hoe sterker het zonlicht, hoe paarser de vlekjes. Maar eenmaal binnen verdwijnt de uitslag gelukkig vanzelf weer.
