向BSB圣诞设计比赛获胜者表示祝贺！

感谢参加圣诞平面设计比赛的每位同学！正如Thorhill先生在他最初的比赛邀请中所述，此次大赛的获奖作品将被制作成巨幅的BSB圣诞挂轴，悬挂在学校门前，祝愿BSB大家庭中的每一个人双旦快乐。。

此次比赛我们总共收到11份参选作品，其中符合平面设计标准（高450厘米x宽250厘米的大尺寸，分辨率高，适合大型横幅模板等），的作品为4幅。参赛者中最小的参赛者为就读德语小学二年级的学生，最大的是目前就读于十三年级的。

我们已将4份决赛作品张贴至学校的布告栏上，并在我们BSB公众号上进行公示，号召学生、家长、员工乃至于整个BSB大家庭的每一名成员都进行投票，选出他们最喜欢的设计作品。

YeonSoo Shin的作品获得票数最高（得到了45%的选票）！她设计的挂轴将于下周展出，我们也将授予她一份特别的奖励。

YeonSoo对其设计理念介绍如下：

“我利用Apple Pencil和Procreate程序在iPad上画出自己的设计。这样我能够使用很多日常生活中无法使用的画笔和媒体作画。我选择的主图是一棵圣诞树，也是每年圣诞节时很多家庭最主要的装饰。我选择夜空作为背景，一轮满月会让圣诞树顶的星星变得引人注目。而在画面远景部分，人们能看到圣诞老人的驯鹿和雪橇的剪影。这是一幅圣诞节梦幻图景，美轮美奂，引人遐思。

我们总是惊喜于同学们的才华和创造力，我们也能看到他们为作品注入的精力和付出的努力。感谢你们！

Y6 Siwoo Ryu - My design has our earnest wish. We are having a difficult 2020 and there are things we didn't value in the past. - LOVE, JOY, FAMILY, HEALTH, BELIEVE, MEMORIES. But I realized all this was so precious. Once again, I put a message in my mind to celebrate 2021. 

Y7 Elaine van der Chijs - For my banner, I tried to incorporate Christmas Cheer together with our special 2020 experience. I made a scroll saying “Naughty List and Nice List: All BSB students, teachers, staff and parents.” I also made Santa’s Gift Bag, which includes the gifts for everyone on the nice list this year - Happiness, Health and Christmas Cheer. I hope the holiday season will take away the virus and give back everybody the joyful life they deserve.

Y8 Deming Sun (John) - The design have shown the theme “Merry Christmas”. On the top left side is a stick man Santa Claus riding the slide with two reindeers and a bag of gift. On the top middle is a Christmas tree pops from a gift.  Under “Christmas” is a “2020”, the first zero have a shape of the coronavirus, the second one is a shape of a Christmas ring. At the bottom is eight gift in different color of wrapping papers.

Y9 Geerthanan Yoganaadan - This poster represents the festive spirit, the image of Santa clause happily carrying presents while he checks his time for Christmas eve, and chuckles his ever so iconic “Ho Ho Ho!” The bell represents a church bell above him which is a signal for time. The background is based on Christmas wrapping paper. This poster is supposed to bring an overall cheery atmosphere during the cold winter, bringing everyone into the festive spirit. As well as this, the character and images in the foreground are highlighted in gold to represent their value to the festivities and Christmas as a general religious holiday. The design was based off 90’s Pop-art which is influenced by a bright/vivid colour palette that was used on this poster and I used Copic markers to generate the vibrant saturation and hue.

Y10 HyeSol Lee (Jessica) - My banner represents what I usually think of when hearing the word ‘Christmas.’ I tried to make it look as simple as possible, so that people, especially children, would be able to remember and recognise this banner easily. This banner is mostly consisted of warm toned colours, and the foreground, which shows the presents, is emphasized heavily. It also embodies a bright, cheerful atmosphere, reminding individuals to let down their worries during Christmas

Y12 Jayden & Bomin - This poster is for the celebration of Christmas. It is made up of a large ball and a white tree with various ornaments. The white tree symbolizes a white Christmas with a tree covered by snow. It is decorated in various colours and is wrapped in a long pink string in the middle. The ornaments represent the happiness and joy that children can feel at Christmas while decorating the tree themselves. The small round ornaments dropped under the tree mean gifts for children while decorating the tree even more. The large ball above the tree symbolizes the round moon, brightening and celebrating Merry Christmas. The phrase ‘ Merry Christmas BSB’ written on the ribbon is to celebrate BSB’s Merry Christmas and wish everyone a happy day. With the moon-like ball and surrounding stars, we hope that people will have a meaningful day where everyone can enjoy the splendor and beauty of Christmas like the brightening stars. Through the poster, BSB will be prettier and fully enjoy the Christmas day.

Y13 Madhushika Yoganaadan - My design was inspired by the movie ‘Rise of the Guardians’, where iconic childhood figures i.e. Santa Claus, Tooth-fairy protect children’s hopes and dreams.  ‘It is our job to protect the children of the world. For as long as they believe in us, we will guard them with our lives.’  - Santa . They give priority to keeping the sense of hope alive within children, as most lose hope whilst growing up. This version of Santa Claus embodies his warrior like features which allow him to protect the sense of hope within children, though he is known to be a warm-hearted man who delivers presents on Christmas Eve, this design illustrates his overwhelmingly demanding characteristics. In the movie he is known as the ‘Guardian of Wonder’ which is something I hoped to convey. The reindeers are symbolism of strength, endurance, and safe travels- they can survive extreme environments during winter. Although Christmas is strongly associated with bright colours, I took my inspirations and implemented a colour scheme exhibiting a sense of power and hope. White is formed in the presence of all colours and black signifies power and strength. I hope to have turned the stereotypical idea of Santa into something new and powerful instead, giving people the sense of hope, highlighting his strongest personality trait as the ‘Guardian of Wonder’ in this world.
