On Monday 22 January Start Design was recognised as one of only two finalists in this years IDEA2001 International Design Effectiveness Awards for Consumer Print.

About their form design work for Royal Mail, Phillipa Butters, Head of Corporate Design at Yellow Pages stated "What makes a piece of print communication great? It's got to be emotional, it's got to engage in some way on a gut level. Good print design will get the message across, and probably get the response you want, but really great design will grab the reader without a word even having to be read."
