2003 Adobe Design Achievement Awards

The Adobe Design Achievement Awards celebrates student achievement that assimilates the powerful convergency of technology with the creative arts industry. Nearly 1,000 students from 160 schools in the United States, Canada, and the U.K. submitted 1,276 entries to this year's competition. Winners were chosen in seven creative categories, representing work by some of the most talented and promising student graphic designers, illustrators, digital filmmakers, and computer artists from leading art and design schools.

The student winners were honored by Adobe and the design community at a special event held on August 7, 2003, at the Art Institute of Chicago. Read the press release.
