Best-of-Show
The Best-of-Show-winning piece is the first solar-powered annual report featuring invisible type that only can be seen in sunlight.
"While we [judges] viewed and discussed thousands of amazing pieces, we all came together in the end with a singular view of the best; the printed piece The Solar Annualreport for Austria Solar that we celebrate this evening," said Pum Lefebure, co-founder and creative director at Design Army and 2012 One Show Design jury chair.
"This is the first annual report powered by the sun, with content remaining invisible until sunlight falls on the page. It truly exhibits where innovation, creativity, and craft comes together. While the media may be changing, one thing never does: powerful design always leaves a lasting impression on our eyes and in our minds," Lefebure continued.
By country, top Pencil winners include:
- 15: Germany (four Gold, seven Silver, four Bronze)
- 10: US (two Gold, three Silver, five Bronze)
