WINTER DESIGN SCHOOL 2024 – PORTER & BRAWN TOP PICKS!

Welcome back to the Make it in Design blog! Today we’re thrilled to share a gorgeous curation of artwork out of Winter Design School 2024.

Winter Design School is an annual online creative event where we provide creatives all over the globe with cutting edge design briefs to push their creativity and skill set, and to expand their design portfolio. This year we were honoured once again to partner with trend consultancy Porter & Brawn who also provided us with the coolest trends for our Winter Design School participants as well as for our exclusive online members’ club The Make it in Design Live Hub!

Below you can find Porter & Brawn’s top picks from each track of Winter Design School 2024:

Commenting on their selection, P&B said:

“We love being a part of Winter School and it’s always fantastic to see so many different concepts which shows how well each designer has responded with an individual direction based upon a strong understanding of the original brief and crucially their own further research.

Never an easy task, but we have highlighted designs which not only grabbed our attention but also demonstrated commercial viability and perfectly answered the brief.  Thank you once again to everyone that took part and shared their progress along the way.”
