Whitecliffe student projects sweep up at 2019 Best Awards

Two of the Gold Awards went to recent graduate Wayne Shih – one for the typeface and publication of his New Zealand Mapping Service he designed as part of his graduating year projects. The other for his Kōrero book project designed with Sabah Rahman.

 

The third Gold Award was to BFA graduate and current MFA student Ken Khun for the exhibition project he did with lecturer Giles Peterson last year.
