‪#‎NTUmonogram Competition Winner: Tim Saunders

Congratulations to Tim Saunders, whose entry was chosen as the overall winner by Alan Kitching!

Tim’s monogram was chosen by Alan “because it seems to be more in keeping with the spirit of the original concept, and is the simplest and the most interesting from the use of colour and textures.”

Tim, a Year Two BA (Hons) Graphic Design student, said “it was such an honour to be part of the project!”, and as his prize for winning the competition he chose a limited edition print of Alan Kitching’s Abram Games monogram.

RUNNERS-UP

Two runners-up were also selected to win some Monotype goodies:

• Jasmin Watts, MA Textile Design Innovation (below, left), whose monogram was described by Alan as “very striking” and featured “a good use of colour”
• and Wen Yee Kok, Final Year BA (Hons) Interior Architecture & Design (below, right), whose design was selected for a “nice use of the over-printing technique and subtle use of colour”

#NTUMonogram runner-up entries: Jasmin Watts (L) and Wen Yee Kok (R) 

Reflecting on the competition, Alan Kitching said “All have a very nice use of combination of the individual letters. The overall response to the competition was very encouraging and all entries had something worthy.”
