The winners for the Design Annual 2020 competition are providing inspiration for first-time viewers and longtime designers alike. Among the Gold winners, we have Stranger & Stranger, as well as Yaman Hu Studio, both based in USA. Taking influence from different cultures, the Gold-winning work from the Design Annual 2020 prove to be nothing short of extraordinary.
Known for their packaging design and branding for popular brands of alcohol, Stranger & Stranger demonstrate their versatility from one project to the next. Entitled “Artful Dodger” (above), the company was tasked with creating the packaging design for a range of single malt scotch whisky. For their creative approach, they utilized an unexpected placement of text, meticulously placed on seemingly ripped layers of paper, to create an image of mountains.

The design of the box is sleek and reminiscent of traditional whisky packaging, while the branding and design of the individual bottles embrace both cultural and historical influences. For their Gold-winning entry, Stranger & Stranger created a luxe and memorable design for the Scottish and English malts. Stranger & Stranger won a total of eight awards for the Design Annual 2020, with six Gold and two Silver-winning entries.
