Been involved in such a truly, unique design competition. Project Never was started this year by Hart Boillot, a marketing and communications agency in Waltham, MA, and recognizes the best concepts, ideas and designs that never reached production. Pinkergreen's, Kelley Wade, was selected as a judge for their trial run of the competition, and we think the contest couldn't have been a more successful kick-off. Entries poured in from all over the world and were filtered by the keen eyes of Justin Hastings and Matt Gustavsen, designers at HB, before the judges got the final say. Gustavsen stated, “We wanted to give designers a way to share their talents and ideas with others in the industry. It’s our way of recognizing work that would otherwise go unnoticed.” Amongst the final five were submissions from Missouri, New Zealand, Egypt, Brooklyn, and Poland.
After the votes were in, Project Never announced Chris Vogel from Kansas City, Missouri, as their first winner for his design for a candy store environment. Kelley said it was a tough call, the finalists were incredible and their ideas and execution was inspiring. About Vogel's design she said…“The design is complex enough in texture and color, but still simple enough in execution to appeal to the masses. I love the type treatment and illustrations Chris used to tie the different elements together. The concept is sugary, sophisticated and fun.”
