The Make it in Design team are so incredibly proud of our talented Summer Design School community and we have genuinely LOVED every moment of the workshop this year. We really do hope our students have enjoyed it just as much and are proud of yourselves for all you’ve achieved this summer.

Today we are delighted to announce our winners and offer a HUGE congratulations and thanks to you all!

From our Co-founder Rachael Taylor:

“Summer Design School (and our Winter version) is often the class our students speak about the most as their favourite Make it in Design offering & I have to admit it’s one of mine too. The community, the support, the beautiful designs created, it all just makes summer such a wonderful time. Thank you to everyone who joined us over the years & to all who joined us for the last time. I will miss your creativity & motivation during the summer so much but I know there will be amazing things to come for the work you have produced with us. Sending you so much love xoxo”

PRIZE DRAW WINNERS – TREND BRIEFS

Entrants were required to simply submit work to the online submission galleries for the trend design briefs in their TRACK and subsequently were entered into the prize draw. That was it – it’s not based on favourites or skill – it’s the luck of the draw so everyone had the chance to win!
