Design Excellence: We honor the late Kari Piippo (FI), a Graphis Master, with a moving tribute by Finn Nygaard, celebrating a legacy defined by his mantra: "Simple, Strong, and Sharp."
Brad Hochberg, co-founder of The Refinery (US), offers a look inside the high-stakes world of entertainment marketing, where every poster must both sell and tell a story.
In packaging, Vishal Vora of Sol Benito (IN) proves that good design is never just surface deep--it's concept, craft, and clarity in one.

Their cinematic campaigns don't just promote games--they immerse players in the experience. See how this agency builds emotional bridges across borders, genres, and screens.
Award-Winning Photography: Photographer Scott Lowden (US) describes his work as "life-fashionography"--a hybrid of storytelling, style, and human connection.
