2011 World Graphics Day Contest Winner

Ryan LaLonde was one of the many great designers to share their work, and their passion, with us in honor of World Graphics Day. Ryan’s thoughts on the meaning of design are "Design is where my heart intersects with my brain – passion and strategy. For a kid who grew up on a family farm in Michigan, it was an outlet that allowed for me to dream of bigger and better things. Whether designing ads for my hometown newspaper or creating a package design for a Fortune 500 Company – it gives me the same sense of satisfaction. It is about knowing that I am using all of my capabilities to meet a challenge."

So congratulations go out to our winner. And so does a new iPad!
