One Word Brief asked designers to respond to one of six one word briefs:

CHANGE
SEARCH
FREEDOM
SOCIAL
SPACE
ENOUGH

The open exhibition, sponsored by Denmaur Independent Papers, had two simple aims: To engage the design community in an opportunity for creative self-expression and to remind people how great graphic design can be.

The three most popular designs were produced by Corissa Taber, who chose to respond to the one word brief FREEDOM, Ben Philp, who chose CHANGE and Andres Santana who selected ENOUGH.

The three designers and their guests will be taken on a two-day all expenses paid trip to Nordland Mill, the home of UPM Fine in Germany, by Denmaur Independent Papers. Denmaur sponsored the One Word Brief exhibition, selecting UPM Fine as the official exhibition paper for submissions to be printed on.

Zoltan Marfy creative director and co-founder of One Word Brief commented, "We've been amazed by the number of responses to our six one word briefs in the first year of our existence and have welcomed work from designers as far afield as Switzerland, Romania, Canada, Australia and India. This was an opportunity for designers to express themselves freely without clients or agencies getting in their way. We're looking forward to creating that same opportunity for designers again."

Tom Jansz of Denmaur Independent Paper commented, "Congratulations, to all those who have taken part. We look forward to taking our guests to Germany, and beyond that to celebrating everyone's work in the One Word Brief book we have planned."
