Those categories are: Packaging Design, Brand Identity and Environmental Design. Rodney Fitch, chairman and CEO of Fitch Worldwide, London, will be the chairman of the jury.
"I had often wondered why Cannes never honored design; for isn't design the very platform on which so much creative endeavor is based," said Fitch in a statement. "Now that the world has come to its senses, I'm greatly honored and not a little humbled to be the Design jury's inaugural president. I am confident the work we shall see will be inspirational and help make these Lions roar even louder."

The theme for this year's competition, “
The Best of Visual Communications: Opens a World of Possibilities”, uses the visual language of a tournament ladder structure to reveal the various influences and inputs that go into a design solution, as well as serving as a representation of the fierce competition to win a prestigious Graphex Award. As well, the tournament ladder is flipped to explore the various possible influences and effect a particular design project can have far beyond the creative brief or client, such as on the community, economy, environment and society. And what effects will winning an award such as Graphex have on our own lives, reputations and careers?
Graphex 2008 asks the question "
What effect will your design have?"
Enter now to find out.
