Coralie Mayer-Traynor (IDEA Grad 2022) wins the 2021 RGD Student Trailblazer Award and 2021 GDC Salazar Award for Print Design with ‘Radio Radical Reform’

Congratulations to Coralie Mayer-Traynor (IDEA Grad 2022) for winning the 2021 RGD Trailblazer Award and 2021 GDC Salazar Award for Print Design with ‘Radio Radical Reform’ fictional seminar project.

In the digital age, radio has become somewhat of a media has-been. Radio Radical Reform is a fictional seminar about bringing the medium of radio into the future. The information booklet’s design is based on audio device designs from the 1960s-70s. It incorporates digital monospace typefaces to give it a retro-modern feel.

Coralie’s range of work displayed outstanding maturity from concept to execution. Meanwhile the projects demonstrated deep consideration of design’s role in addressing social issues such as diversity, well-being and inclusivity.

About The RGD

Through the Association of Registered Graphic Designers (the RGD), Canadian designers exchange ideas, educate and inspire, set professional standards and build a strong, supportive community dedicated to advocating for the value of design.

Representing over 4,100 design professionals, including firm owners, freelancers, managers, educators and students, the RGD was created in 1996 by an Act of the Ontario Legislature (Bill Pr 56) and is the only graphic design association in North America to have this type of legislation.

The Certified RGD designation is a signal of quality and competence to the profession, public and government. Successful candidates have met a rigorous set of standards that includes documented levels of relevant, professional education and experience as well as competence in the areas of business, design principles, research, accessible design and ethics demonstrated through the successful completion of the RGD’s certification process.

Our vision is for a graphic design profession that is broadly valued for its contribution to life, commerce and society.
