Melofeij Awards

Good news for the South China Morning Post art department from Melofeij in Pamplona. Simon Scarr has walked away with a GOLD award for his Picasso graphic where he plots every painting in Picasso's career. (Obviously that's an over simplification but will do for now. Simon will write more detail on his blog, http://graphics-info.blogspot.hk soon as will I)

Then he picked up a SILVER for his wiring of the city graphic ...

As well as an Award of Excellence for his portfolio which included the above plus ...

Then everbody's favourite majo won 2 Awards of Excellence for his wine tasting graphic plus the train on the roof of the world graphics ...

More later, but for now it's dinner and celebrations!

Melofeij Awards

Just landed in Pamplona with Simon Scarr and Adolfo Arranz for the Melofeij conference and awards this week.

We're all pretty wrecked after more than 24 hours in transit but looking forward to an awesome week. Hoping to meet a lot of talented graphic designers - other than the two I'm traveling with.

We're also wondering if we'll be the group that's travelled the longest distance to be here. I guess we'll find out later in the week.

SND results

Here's how the South China Morning Post art department went this year in the SND awards. The biggest prize was for Adolfo's wine tasting graphic where he bagged a silver.

Then these three for page design (what?). The first two from Adolfo 

The this one from Simon again for page design. Not graphics. Right.

Here's how we did in 2011 ... Simon cleaning up with 5 awards, three for graphics ...

One for portfolio which included the ones above plus the following three ..

Plus the Iraq's Bloody Toll won for page design.

Adolfo Arranz

Some great news yesterday. Adolfo found out he won a silver SND award for his wine tasting graphic. Great result and a very appropriate subject for him to claim a win with! 

For more of Adolfo's work visit his blog .. link is to the right of the page. (I'll be putting more of his work up later on too.)

Some photos of Adolfo celebrating with a fat cigar. Good onya Majo, well done!
