The Hepworth Prize for Sculpture by Passport

“We came up with an idea to pay homage to both the iconic architecture of The Hepworth Wakefield and the subject matter of ‘sculpture’ by creating a set of 3D forms that were influenced by the recognisable angular qualities of the building itself. We then photographed these forms from multiple perspectives and traced over them to create dynamic, geometric shapes. This 'wireframe’ would remain consistent but the angle from which it is viewed would always be different, much in the way that an audience often interacts with sculpture. To complement the wireframe structures we created a custom typeface, whose letterforms intend to occasionally subvert the expected; replacing the idea of standardised structures with more eccentric, playful forms.”

Passport is an independent branding and print design studio based in Leeds, UK, informed and influenced by certain destinations and international design culture. They enjoy designing thoughtful and effective identities that aim to strike a balance between classic and contemporary aesthetics. They strive to realise projects through carefully crafted and well executed print as a result of constant research and experimentation into unconventional processes and materials.

final_final_final.show by Ralf Renz Maniego

“final_final_final.show playfully reflects the file naming conventions we adopt as students. It is a nod to what we have learnt about the discipline of the design process; the infinite developments and refinements required to bring a concept to life and effectively connect to an audience.”

He is a recent graduate, having studied BA (hons) Visual Communication at the Arts University Bournemouth and a member of the International Society of Typographic Designers (MISTD).
