Updated Viscom/Jeanie McMahon

This is great news for Jean McMahon, a student at the University of Ulster, this prestigious honor is well sought after in the design world, I know after doing a wee bit of research into it, dominated by corporations, it is a great achievement on itself to get noticed never mind actually winning an award (The special pencil I call it). To be honest, at the end of year show, This students work was one of my favorites, not just because the work was impeccable but I got to meet her in person and shes comes across as a well centered person and with her feet firmly on the ground. I wish I could of asked her some questions but she was a bit to busy for an amateur like me.

A few Designs I can learn from:
