Title: Part of Nature

Evaluation: The creator used many layout elements, but somehow the layout as a whole is well organized. This is due to the way that the driftwood comprises the compositional backbone. The way driftwood is arranged, and the open space in the middle makes the layout seem to have more depth than its actual size.

Her Comment: I understand from the past ADA contest top prize winners’ layout that this contest places emphasis on the originality of the creator. So it was not easy to express a part of nature for me who, never has enough river stone, driftwood, aquatic plants and fish, or expertise to take photographs, but I expressed a part of nature using my own belief and imagination. I spent my childhood in the countryside. It is not a hidden scenic spot like Kumgangsan, nor flourish like a rose, I just included my pure heart in the layout. I really appreciate the good grading result by the judges.
