Brief

Your brief is to celebrate the Nobel Prize. You may wish to propose the design for a suite of publications that highlight the various categories of awards; perhaps a prestigious publication that investigates the life and work of a selection of Nobel Laureates; or a very focused approach looking at a specific category, eg. the prize for literature.

The Final Outcome

Through extensive research, I decided to celebrate the controversial winners of the Nobel Prize. 

At the time of winning, their achievements were overshadowed by controversy. I wanted these ten individuals to be celebrated for why they won, whilst still highlighting the controversy in each case. 

I felt this was important in telling the individual's story.

The ten winners are Barack Obama; Cordell Hull; Yasser Arafat; Wangari Maathai; John Forbes Nash; Carl von Ossietzky; Alexander Fleming; Harald zur Hausen; Henry Kissinger; Werner Heisenberg.
