Janina Boesch, a web designer in New York specializing in interactive media, is the 2007 Best of Show winner for her “Freestyle Swimming” entry, which also won Best of Category in Sports. “This entry portrays more than just an image – it tells a complete and compelling story,” said the judges. “It is too good not to get the big prize.”
“In this design I tried to capture the speed and power that dictate a swimming contest,” said Boesch, about her winning design. “Especially in freestyle, swimmers look very dynamic and energetic. I very much enjoy working on fun projects like the UniKeep design contest. Winning the annual contest in two categories and the Best of Show is certainly the nicest reward for doing what I love to do most.”
