Shepard Fairey said on receiving his award: “I’d like to thank the jury and the Brit Insurance Design Awards for presenting me with this award. The Obama Hope poster was created as a grass roots tool for the Obama campaign and I’m very honoured to be recognised for its creativity and contribution to graphic design, especially amongst all the other incredible nominations across the various disciplines that made thought provoking, conscious design.â€
Offcut Monsters, By Okay Studio. Photography credit Luke Hayes
The winning design for the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year 2009 will be announced tonight at the Awards Dinner hosted by Naomi Cleaver at the Design Museum.
These table centrepieces were a special project by Okay Studio made exclusively for the dinner.
12 Offcut Monsters, as the name suggests, were created from remnants of other designs made in their studio. Each roughly hewn monster has a distinct personality, brings together fragments of many design projects and puts discarded materials centre stage.
“Rising from the bowels of the Okay Studio workshop dustbins come the ‘Offcut Monsters’. Each unique piece is created from the rotting fruits of two years worth of workshop labour and toil, handcrafted in the vision of the members of the North London based collective of designers. Close inspection of these characterful table centres will yield an individual portrait of each of the designers at the studio - through waste comes beauty!” Okay Studio
Okay Studio is a collective of nine graduates of the Design Products course Platform Ten course at the Royal College of Art.
Design Awards in production
The Blog Vote closes tonight at midnight.
Find out which nominations came top as the winners of The Blog Vote will be posted on the blog tomorrow.
We have exclusive images below of the awards in production, that will be presented to the shortlist winners and overall Brit Insurance Design of the Year winner at the Awards Dinner tomorrow night.
The awards were jointly designed by designer Michael Marriott and graphic designer Anthony Burrill.
The Designers
Michael Marriott has been working as a designer since leaving the Royal College of Art in 1993. Although trained as a furniture designer, his practice is particularly broad in scope, embracing the design of exhibitions and installations on one hand furniture and products on the other. He is also often involved with many other peripheral activities; teaching, writing, curating, collating, etc. In all his varied practice there is a common core though, which is a search for the elemental nature of the thing in hand.

Anthony Burrill is an independent designer and illustrator who works in a broad range of activities, including print, film and internet. After studying Graphic Design at Leeds Polytechnic he completed an MA in Graphic Design at the Royal College of Art, London. Where he created his now trademark technique for direct communication.
Anthony’s uncomplicated style stems from his appreciation for simplicity, which was formed in his early handcrafted photocopy books. He has designed advertising campaigns for London Underground, DIESEL, Nike, Bupa amongst others, including the cult Hans Brinker Budget Hotel campaign. He has also produced web-based projects for bands such as Kraftwerk and Air, murals for Bloomberg, Priestman Goode and recently designed the identity for Kesselkramer’s inaugural London base – KK OUTLET.
Anthony recently held two exhibitions, The Right Kind of Wrong at The Biscuit Building, London in collaboration with Michael Marriott, and Geometry in Nature at Colette in Paris.
