News: Type Awards for Alt

Auckland-based design­ers con­tinue search for big­ger trophy cabinet.

Alt Group has star­ted off the new year where it left off the last – with a swag of awards. The latest gongs are three Cer­ti­fic­ates of Typo­graphic Excel­lence in the Type Dir­ect­ors Club TDC56 com­pet­i­tion in New York. The firm received two awards for its work on the Vign­eron – a pro­ject designed to com­mem­or­ate the life of Alt Group dir­ector Ben Corban’s grand­father, Najib Corban, of the Corbans wine dyn­asty – and one award for its “holey” poster, which was designed to draw atten­tion to cli­mate change by using mag­ni­fy­ing glasses and the sun to burn the word “OUCH” into paper.

Alt Group’s three award-winning designs will be show­cased in the Type Dir­ect­ors Club Annual, Typo­graphy 31.
