Communication designers from around the world are creative like never before – and those interested in design can see this for themselves in Switzerland this spring. With the exhibition “Quality has a form. red dot presents: Excellent communication design in Basel” red dot presents in the exhibition area of the Basel School of Design from 13 April to 9 May 2010, the best communication design works that have won awards in the “red dot award: communication design 2009”. The festive vernissage will take place on 12 April 2010.

The international jury of the “red dot award: communication design” assessed 6,112 entries in total, and only approximately 8 per cent received an award. “The excellent designs of the winners have deeply impressed the independent jurors, and thus the presentation of the works in the red dot design museum in Essen, Germany, has already been a complete success,” says Professor Dr. Peter Zec, initiator of the red dot design award and head of the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen. “We are particularly delighted about the offer to present the whole spectrum of communication design to all those interested in design at the creative location of Basel for the first time.”

Be it video game design, an advertising film or an annual report, print or digital – the exhibition of award-winning works from 42 countries and 25 competition categories overall shows the large spectrum of creative skills required of communication designers today. In addition, the current “red dot: design agency of the year”, KMS Team from Munich, presents a cross-section of the most sophisticated design accomplishments created for international top companies from the last 25 years in the form of an installation.
