A new spin on the story of St Andrews

design awards

Whitespacers got all dolled up on Friday night and headed for the annual Scottish Design Awards at the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow.
And . . . (drum roll!)

We came home with an award and a commendation for the animated short of the Story of St Andrew which was created for www.scotland.org the official online gateway to Scotland.

The animation takes the viewer through the life of St Andrew in a unique way, setting the story on a semi-circular stage and spinning through changes of time and place. The story won a Scottish Design Award in the Craft category and a commendation in the Digital Design category.

The animation is aimed at a younger audience and was also shown as part of the 2009 St Andrew’s Day celebrations on an outdoor screen in St Andrew Square.

Take a look at the Story of St Andrew.
