“The basic challenge for us, the organizers, was to manage to bring together the world of graphic and the world of digital design so as to address a common challenge” Yannis Sklavos explains. “This year, creative minds from both areas came together under one roof to develop and create innovative design works. We are very happy that Designathon has been established as an important source of highlighting new talents and we thank those who have contributed to this”, he added.
