OUGD602 Passport Re-Design

https://www.dezeen.com/2017/04/11/brexit-passport-design-competition-winner-ian-macfarlane-1000-pound-prize/

The passport redesigns are really a step into the future although I am not happy with the brexit results this passport design is really reflective of the overall changes about to be made.



"Scottish graphic designer Ian Macfarlane has won first prize in Dezeen's unofficial Brexit passport design competition with a cover that transitions between the burgundy EU passport and the dark blue of the old, pre-EU British passport.
The London-based designer's winning proposal features a tonal gradient between the two colours, with the blue upper half seeping over the maroon lower half.
Judges praise simplicity and power of winning design
The competition judges described the simple design as "poetic," "powerful," "elegant" and "ambiguous".
Dezeen founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, who chaired the jury, said they were all struck by the simple power of the submission, which communicates Brexit in an ambiguous way.
"It can be read as representing a smooth transition, a nostalgic return or an ominous darkening," he said. "This makes it a worthy winner, since the brief called for a design that would represent all UK citizens."
Fairs described the winner as "an artistic statement that is ambiguous, powerful, simple and beautiful"."
