Meet the Judge ---
Jeremy with Vi
About Judge Jeremy: He has a degree in Visual Arts and a Master of Arts Education. He teaches art classes at a Richmond high school.
Here's a few words from Jeremy about this year's tag event.
"It was a joy to review the tag designs this year -- I was blown away by the caliber of skills and abundance of creativity.
With such a wide variety of techniques and styles, selecting the top tags was an especially challenging task this year. I carefully considered the parameters of the challenge (mixed media) and the building blocks of design (creativity, craftsmanship, composition, and colour) when choosing the winner, top tags, and honourable mentions."
Winning Tag
Congratulations Robyn!!
Jeremy: "My pick for the winning design goes to Robyn. This tag shows a unique point of view and a willingness to take risks. The combination of the asymmetrical tag shape and the offset focal image is one of a kind. As well, the royal purple and yellow-gold colour combination and exquisite watercolouring highlight Robyn's advanced design sensibility. What a stunning creation!"
