The Finalists of the Pantone Competition Are?

written by

The colour authority Pantone recently announced their colours for the Spring/Summer 2017 collection. Ten colours feature as part of the collection so we set our students a challenge to design boards for each colour, and what an amazing job they have done.

Today the team at Academy HQ had the difficult task of selecting just 3 finalists for each colour, and I can tell you it was not easy. I must have changed my mind about ten times as they were all so good. Below you will see the finalists for each colour along with the boards they have designed. We are now passing the final judging over to the fabulous team at Aisle Planner who are our course partners and offer a 3 month student license to Academy students.

We will be announcing the winner of each colour at the end of the week so stay tuned…
