Hey Reader,

The 2025 TDK Award Winners have been announced and as predicted, the future of design is bright. Our judges sifted through hundreds of submissions, from 23 countries to find the most exciting emerging designers of 2025 showcasing practical and joyful brand language, contemporary typography, cultural nuances, a dedication to craft and authentic concepts.

The 2025 awards saw categories introduced and judged by the following criteria: Creativity, Craft, Impact and Originality. See below for the list of award winners or check out the awards section of our website for more.

Also! We have a fantastic AMA session coming up with Kittl, a Black Friday sale with 40% off our online courses, new job opportunities and amazing TDKTuesday events happening in a number of cities across the globe.
