The Collab Competition was a great experience in entering. Approaching a project with the intent to mimic the spirit and style of another designer has opened up many new avenues for me in designing products. Marcel, being a lover of exuberance and childlike fun, his style was right up my alter egos alley. Yi Wei Liao (from Uarts Junior class) placed second and Jay Dyer (also a Uarts junior) received an honourable mention. All of the Uarts projects shined in my eyes and i am very proud to be a part of the class. Even though i personally did not make the cut, I was very humbled that Jamer Hunt (one of 6 panel judges and former Uarts MID chair) talked about my project and pointed out the conceptual aspects of my design that i was really trying to get across. Congratulations to the other winners from Philadelphia University and Art Institute of Philadelphia.
