Kernel Group’s corporate calendar was judged one of the best during the 6th Kiev Advertising Festival. It was among the final winning entries meaning that it was in fact among the top 10-15% of contestants competing for prizes. Our calendar was found one of the best ones in the course of the 6th Kiev Advertising Festival, it was among the finalists. The name of finalist means that our work was appraised to be at least of the same level as the best companies had and we were included to the list of some 10-15% of “lucky” companies striven for prizes. A couple of words about the calendar itself: NAME: “Kernels of Wisdom” DESIGN CONCEPT: To achieve a tactile quality and to create a hand-made feel by using non-standard “handicraft” elements: rough pack-thread, wooden strips, linen sack, kernels (of wisdom), original illustrations and drawn features. This “handicraft” approach was deliberately chosen so as to conjure up by association an image of warm human hands that take care of small kernels that have been planted with tender loving care eventually to grow up and help make the world a better place. AUTHORS: Outstanding Kyiv designers, Denis and Natalia Rybchinskiye. Last year we were a bit luckier when our calendar won top prize.
