Since 2007 we've been working with Cardiff Design Festival, producing printed materials and developing their website, providing tools to allow agencies and individuals to submit their work to the Best of Welsh Design Awards.

This year was much the same, until we decided to try something a little different. As well as a fabulous illustration produced by Matt Joyce to really make this year standout, we introduced a five star voting system to the Best of Welsh Design online showcase.

Perhaps its not ground breaking, but it did generate both new and return visitors to the website. In the two months leading up we saw 10,000 visitors to the website and another 5,000 during the festival, with the online voting system logging over 1,700 individual votes.

The Best of Welsh Design is presently shown in order of the highest vote, so congratulations should go out to Kutcibok for being the most popular with their work for Gower Cottage Brownies.
