Competition was tough this year with over 50 portfolio submissions to 2015 Portfolio 1-on-1®. Our judges had a lot of page flipping and reviewing to do, but ultimately chose the most-prepared books. We thank our generous scholarship providers for their support of AIGA Minnesota Portfolio 1-on-1 and we congratulate this year’s winners.

Danilo engages the questions of enticing shifts in perception in design education and the influence of contemporary society and culture on our visual cognition in his research practice. His goal is to visually investigate the ability to communicate in different formats and create different levels of cognition through perception, acceleration, and construction of messages that raise consciousness, sensitivity, and conviction.
