Aucklanders head off Aussies in design awards

Alt Group's award-winning CD cover designs.

Auckland design company Alt Group was a big winner at the recent AGDA (Australian Graphic Design Association) awards in Adelaide, Australia.

The group beat more than 2700 entries to win a supreme Pinnacle award and a number of distinction awards.

The company's principal recognition came in the photography category for its Music Convergence CD series for New Zealand Trade & Enterprise.

The CDs showcase the best of New Zealand music and are distributed to music company decision makers around the world to help promote New Zealand music.

Each CD is carefully packaged and features time-lapse images of melting wax tuis, New Zealand's native songbird.
