Designer of the Year
While some musicians have reinvented themselves as cartoon characters - Michael Jackson and the Beatles - it took the launch of Gorillaz in 1999 to challenge expectations of what an animated band could accomplish.
Through a wealth of printed and onscreen presentations, Jamie Hewlett, cult comic artist and co-creator of Gorillaz, produced a fiction-as-fact illusion of a band. His detailed storyboards and character profiles have brought to near-life the group's four members - Murdoch, 2D, Russel and Noodle - and made the virtual group Gorillaz a real entity in the international music industry.
Jamie Hewlett has been named Designer of the Year. For more information check out Design Museum - London

There's another designer who was a nominee for Designer of the Year. His name is Cameron Sinclair. You should check him out!
blah, blah, blah! Lisa just needed to get a plug in for who she voted for. So far every time I have voted that person has won!
