UCOL Computer Graphic design graduate Charlie McKay has achieved another top national award.
Charlie, who is Art Director of Metro magazine, was named Best Magazine Designer at this month’s Qantas Media Awards.
Judge Matt Martell said: “As I looked at Charlie McKay’s pages, I kept reminding myself that I was looking at design, not reading stories. His intelligent use of colour, typography, illustration and photography draws readers in, entices them to read, read, read. His work stands out through his breadth of styles, depth of understanding of the subject matter and a confidence and competence absent in most other entries.”
After graduating from the Whanganui School of Design with his Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design, Charlie moved to Wellington, and worked free-lance before becoming Art Director of Metro, an urban magazine of music, fashion, food and art with a reputation for inventiveness and award-winning journalism.
