Young Designers 2002 chronicles the partnership between NID’s design education and client organisations from industry, government and social sectors. The diploma projects reflect the graduating student’s capacity to deal with real issues in professional situations. The themes of this year’s diploma projects reflect a fair balance between socially relevant design and one that is alive to market trends and needs. To present a holistic picture, this landmark issue comes with an interactive CD that includes the classroom projects and brief discipline profiles. The complete publication has been designed by a team of six students of third year Graphic Design, demonstrating the value of ‘learning by doing’ in a real time-bound professional manner.
