Canadian Immigration Focus on Canadian Immigrant Life: According to a report by the Canadian Sing Tao Daily, a Chinese-Canadian graduate from the joint design program at York University and Sheridan College in Toronto recently won the 2015 Adobe Design Achievement Award. Students from these two institutions have consistently achieved outstanding results, winning the packaging design category of this award five times in six years.
The Adobe Design Achievement Awards jury reviewed thousands of entries from students at over 70 design schools worldwide. This year's winner in the packaging design category is Joyce Dang, who recently graduated from the joint design program at York University and Sheridan College and is currently working as a designer at SapientNitro in Toronto.
Her winning entry, titled "Aqua Skins," consists of colorful adhesive bandages for children with minor skin cuts, inspired by the protective nature of fish scales. Each bandage set is designed in the shape of a fish, containing bandages printed with fish scale patterns. As the bandages are used, a fish skeleton pattern is revealed on the backing paper, reminding the user that the supply is running low.
Joyce Dang revealed that she had submitted two entries to the judges, "Aqua Skins" and "Mood," both of which were shortlisted as semi-finalists, but she never expected to win. Regarding this honor, she expressed special gratitude to her mentor at the York University and Sheridan College joint design program, Professor Albert Ng, thanking him for his constant encouragement to do her best and never underestimate her own abilities.
