Pann Lim，Kinetic的联合创始人兼创意总监担任本届设计与平面制作奖项评审团主席。他说：“就平面来说，我们今年并没有看到太多突破传统界限的作品。这些作品的品质都很好，但是就像所有艺术品一样，这些作品的评判都很主观——每一位评审都有自己最喜欢的作品。我想强调的是评审时我们所面对的一个多元化的环境，以及所有多元化的作品，这都给了我们在评审时进行的讨论增加了宽度。平面不死，今年的作品很好的验证了这一点——总有更大的空间给平面去展示自己的想法。”

Jury President for Design Lotus and Print Craft is Pann Lim, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Kinetic, Singapore summarized by saying, “If we are talking about pushing boundaries in Print, we didn’t see much growth in that area. The craft was there, but as with everything dealing with art, it’s very subjective – everyone on the jury had their own favorites. What I would like to highlight is the diversity of the panel, and the diversity of the work we saw, which gave our discussions great breadth. Print will never be dead, and this year’s winners show there will always be room to express our ideas on paper.”

最终全场大奖花落CJ WORX曼谷的作品《与众不同的足球场》——该作品将普通的房顶改造成了一块与众不同的足球场。
“评审们一致同意这件作品应该最终获奖。它不仅突破了创意的边界，更是表明了一个好的创意可以从何种程度给全社会一个正面的反馈，让整个世界变的更美好。这个作品不只是创造出了好作品，更是创造出了一个能够为社区所享用的空间。非常独特和新奇，我从未见过如此作品。”Lim说。

“The jury unanimously honoured this project because it not only pushes the boundaries of creativity but signals that a good idea can change society in a positive way, and it affected change in the community. I know not every project can solve real human issues, but this project is not only creative but creates spaces for the community to play together. It’s very fresh, I’ve never seen anything like it,” says Lim.
