Summary
Display of 6 prize winners of Kornit Digital's Interdisciplinary Design Challenge.
The winners of this competition were Jihee Che (first place), Janisha Biyanwila (second place), Rachel McGuire (third place), and Paige Leonard (honorable mention).
During the 2014-15 academic year, fourth-year Textile/Surface Design students were challenged in a contest sponsored by Kornit Digital, a company that makes sustainable textile printing technology, to create digital designs that were then printed onto fabric by Kornit. The stakes were then heightened with an interdisciplinary twist, as Fashion Design students got involved.
In the first phase of the contest, Textile/Surface Design students translated the theme of “wearable water” into a variety of motifs, including fish scales, melting glaciers, and coral reefs. They also mocked up images of runway garments featuring their designs.
The judges were a mix of industry veterans:
Tom Cody of Tom Cody Design; Joe Castaldo, president of The Style Council; Nancy Fire, creative director of Design Works International; and Marco Paul, strategic accounts manager of Kornit Digital North America. Judging was based on interpretation of the theme, marketability, use of digital technology, and overall design aesthetic.
