Leaning into materiality, the certificates for the International Creative Awards ‘Recognised’ work are created by duplexing two beautiful papers together: Gmund Urban Dust Cement 250 gsm and Gmund Heidi Used White 330gsm to 520gsm. The cement dust paper echoes the concrete trophies created for the winners. One side features blind-embossed typography and the other includes the project title and credits in print. We created a concrete trophy holder so you can easily display the certificate too - created by hand by Charles Myatt. Thanks to GF Smith for providing the paper and Pressision for the tight work on the printing, embossing and duplexing. @internationalcreativeawards @intl.international @warriorsstudio @gfsmithpapers @pressisionltd @charles_myatt__ Photograph credits 2, 8, 9, 10, 11 @gordonburniston 5, 6, 7 Varinthorn Pormajanya @v.arin

Trophies are an ancient concept. Tangible items used to demonstrate achievement and celebrate merit. The idea runs deeply through almost all aspects of civilisation from battlefields to science and culture. They allow us to place abstract meaning and share emotion through a physical object. When creating the trophy for the International Creative Awards, it had to be unlike any we had seen before. Award trophies are typically clean, sleek, polished, ‘perfect’ and embody a type of aspiration we don’t connect with, which doesn’t represent what the International Creative Awards stand for. We rejected historical notions of precious metals, ‘scarce’ material value and cast ours by hand in concrete. Concrete for us is raw, honest, limitless. It’s all around us. It can be refined or rugged. It has strength, unexpected beauty and is an unsung hero in our everyday lives. The form of the trophy is a flower, a symbol of sacred beauty, transience and life but also a representation of resistance and positivity. Making artistic, creative work in a commercial world is no easy feat. It is an act of resistance and determination. It demonstrates a belief in the power of beauty, art and creativity, that’s why we founded the International Creative Awards. We believe in the power of art, design and creativity to make the world a better place to be. This trophy is a monument to that. Charles Stephen Myatt helped us bring the vision to life by hand-forming and then producing each individual trophy. Charles is a central figure in the creative community in Scotland, honing his craft with concrete through building skateparks (with and without permission), organising events, forming communities and generally catalysing movement here in Glasgow. We love you Charlie ✊ Every aspect of this collaboration resonates with our mission for the awards. Congratulations to all 2025 winners. 2026 is now open for entry.

Excited to share the poster for ‘Not Our Thing’ - an upcoming collaborative event curated by ilka at International Assembly. The poster was created by assembling fallen autumn leaves, branches, acorns and stones. These were placed onto large sheets of paper outdoors to form typographic compositions and photographed until one felt just right. Sometimes the conversation around sustainability is too abstract, seismic or impersonal to grasp. Looking at these simple yet beautiful natural forms which are part of our every day, we hope the poster serves as a gentle reminder of nature’s beauty and it’s immediate presence and value in our lives Let us know your thoughts Event details: NOT OUR THING. 43% of designers don’t feel confident designing for sustainability. Join INTL and @ilka.studio to explore how we can change this statistic and help graphic designers become powerful agents of positive environmental and social change. Expect a panel discussion, group conversations, and hands-on interaction with leading designers. Speakers include: - Danny Miller (Human After All), Jen Ballie (V&A Dundee), Abb-d Taiyo (Driftime® | Design Declares), and ilka studio. 🎟️ Book your tickets now at: @intl.international You’ll leave with practical tools, new perspectives, and the inspiration to design more sustainably in your day-to-day work. 📌 The Pyramid at Anderston, Glasgow ⏳ Thursday 20. November 2025 🕣 18:30-21:30 We’re also doing a small run of x100 copies on @gfsmithpapers @humanafterallstudio @vadundee @abbd7 @ilka.studio @intl.international #poster #design #posterdesign #graphicdesign #typographicposter #typography #INTL #INTLassembly #designfestival #notourthing #ilkastudio #warriorsstudio
