2nd Nippon Paint Young Designer Award is back! Let’s showcase your design talents and creativity and get recognized by submitting your entries today for the Nippon Young Designer Award.
The Nippon Young Designer Award (NPYDA) is organized by Nippon Paint, and is established to give recognition to young, talented designers in Malaysia.
For 2009, the objective of this project is to test student’s skills in the application of colour trends; applying creativity into the projects; to elaborate on their selections; encourage young designers and to strengthen the international competitive edge of Malaysian original designs of “future designers”.
Theme and concept of NPYDA 2009
As an interior designer, colours are the magical tools in my designs that bring joy to my client’s life. The colour trend 2009 was announced last year and the forecast was done in consideration of a number of factors such as the environment, green issues, world economy and politics and such. For an average person, the matching of colours is not easy, let alone applying colours of the year into everyday’s living. The task for participating students for this year is to successfully integrate the use of the colour trends 2009 into their design entry.
The theme, “Leading Design with Colour Trends” carries the idea of integrating the colour trends announced by Nippon Paint 2008 for the 2009/2010 into the design work.
