Designer of the Day Event

Designer of the Day
A’ Design Award, being one of the World’s largest and most influential design accolade receives some of the best design submissions and entries from the most creative and innovative designers and brands from all countries in all industries and design disciplines worldwide. We announce the Designer of the Year annually but it is not enough for us. Over the years, we have been accumulating profiles and excellent design work of World’s best designers, artists, architects and design oriented companies. We want to honour the pioneers of good design by featuring a single designer, artist, architect or design brand prominently each day via the Designer of the Day Event.

What do we do for the Designer of the Day
Designer of the Day Event is huge as it provides exposure and publicity in multiple levels. Here is what we do for the Designers, Artists, Architects and Brands selected and highlighted as the Designer of the Day:

Designer of the Day Graphics
First, we will create a special Designer of the Day Event graphic image in recognition of the Designer of the Day title. Designer of the Day graphic will contain the Designers’ name, image or logo, and a selection of top design projects, together with a small descriptive text that expresses and communicates what Designer of the Day is and why it is important. A’ Design Award will send you the Designer of the Day graphic together with a special Designer of the Day certificate and thank you letter electronically. In addition to the Designer of the Day Infographic, we would create and send to you your Designer of the Day Logo, and Designer of the Day Certificate of Achievement.

Designer of the Day Article
Then we will, together with the input of the Designer of the Day, create and publish an article that would contain 20 paragraphs and images, and would focus on the following topics and structured the following way: (1) Title: [YOUR NAME] Designer of the Day (2) Description: Description would cover what Designer of the Day means and how it relates to [YOUR NAME]. (3) Main image of the article would use the special Designer of the Day image we created for you. (4) Further Article Images would include the designs which had won A’ Design Award or other accolades, to be selected by you and accompanied by additional text and images. (5) We would want to also showcase you as the designer and your creative process, perhaps by an image that showcases your design studio, or with a photo of your team, or a combination of your products, projects, artwork or design as the penultimate paragraph together with your view on art or design. (6) For the final paragraph, we would want to have a call to action to invite companies to work with you, or press members to feature more of your works, or for design loving clients worldwide to buy your products. You will be able to provide a paragraph and choose a call for action to redirect traffic and visitors to your website, portfolio, brand pages or online store.

Designer of the Day Press Release
Afterwards, we will create an additional press release to announce you being the Designer of the Day. We will link your article, and have the special Designer of the Day image featured within your press release which will be distributed via the A’ Design Award Press Release platform. Then we will take more actions to reinforce and publicize your Designer of the Day status.

Designer of the Day Social Networking
We will promote your Designer of the Day status at social networks including but not limited to facebook, twitter, pinterest, digg, reddit and other platforms where we could submit your design works. We will actively sponsor and boost the posts to reach more people. We will beforehand ask you to provide us your social network accounts, this way we could actively visit your account and comment on your profile directly, celebrating your status and officially acknowledging your Designer of the Day title.

Designer of the Day Website
We will list Designer of the Day laureates at a A' Design Award as well as at a special website, together with the original images we have created with them at designeroftheday.com and we will actively promote the designeroftheday.com website and your profile at designeroftheday.com to press members as well as third parties interested in design. Furthermore, we will promote your supplementary material that you could use to integrate your Designer of the Day achievement to your own platforms. Supplemental Material includes the (1) Designer of the Day Infographic. (2) Designer of the Day Logo. (3) Designer of the Day Certificate of Achievement.

Why we do it?

We strongly believe that it would be beneficial to promote and advertise excellent designs several times so that we could create further awareness for your good design products and projects.

Disclaimer
We will be choosing the Designer of the Day names at our sole discretion. We will most likely feature laureates that have complete profile with public relations campaign and high-resolution images already provided; we want to remind that all laureates could access to the post competition tab, especially design interview, designer interview, high resolution images and public relations functionality pages at their control panel to provide the prerequisite content. We will most likely push a new Designer of the Day each working day, excluding periods such as deadlines, gala night, exhibition organization or results announcement days where we would be extremely busy.
