What is New Designers?
New Designers is an annual exhibition that brings together the best graduate design talent from across the UK. The event is aimed at professionals in the design industry, as well as general consumers who are interested in seeing the latest trends in design. New Designers also welcomes hundreds of school students each year, inspiring the next generation of designers. Over two weeks, they showcase the work of over 2,500 talented graduates in a range of disciplines, including textiles, graphics, product design and more.
The KeyShot Award for exceptional design & visual communication
With 3D as the true love of our design hearts, the KeyShot Award was established to recognize and honor innovative design thinking and creative visual communication within product design.
As part of the New Designers Associate Awards (in week 2) our award will be awarded within the categories: Furniture design, product and industrial design, spatial design and visual communications (graphic design, illustration, animation, motion and digital arts)
