Our September 2016 The Ultimate Portfolio Builder class had an incredible four-part creative brief from Printsource designed to help them attract the clients they dream of working with.
Earlier this week we brought you the shortlist of entries as selected by Rachael Taylor, Printsource Producer Massimo Iacoboni and the Make it in Design Team and today we are delighted to announce the winner of this AMAZING competition who will be heading to New York next summer!
WINNER!
Over to Massimo Iacoboni:
We were very impressed by the quality of the artwork submitted, and truly wished we could have named more than one winner! Our choice is based on several factors, including what we feel is the best fit for the U.S. market in general and Printsource buyers in particular. This year’s winner is Lynda Metcalf, who displayed a lovely illustrative style with great juvenile prints that are really commercial. We were very much taken with Lynda’s sense of storytelling and a fun narrative. Congratulations… and see you in New York!’
