The Drum Designerati: Vote to decide top UK designers extended until Tuesday
Due to high levels of participation over the past two weeks, voters now have until Tuesday 18 March to choose their top three individuals from the below list of design luminaries.
Having refined industry nominations into a top 100, The Drum has invited the public to decide who will be named Designer of the Year at The Drum Design Awards on Wednesday 30 April.
This year also sees The Drum launch its inaugural Designerati publication (#drumdesignerati), and we want you to help us rank the top 100. You can either vote below or on the dedicated The Drum Designerati survey page.
Originally compiled through reader suggestions from the Design Census and designers who have impressed The Drum, we asked former Design Week editor and judge at the first The Drum Design Awards Lynda Relph-Knight to help us whittle it down and now we want you to help us decide where to rank these esteemed individuals in the top 100.
Of the Designerati choices, The Drum editor, Gordon Young, said: "We've been keeping a close eye on the design industry and we're bowled over by the amount of talent in all of the various fields. Design touches everything nowadays so our list includes everyone from illustrators, creative and art directors, fashion designers, product designers, champions of the design industry and academics.
"Everyone in the Designerati deserves credit for their work and The Drum is delighted to be able to highlight this very talented group of people. It wasn't an easy task to cut down our original list of suggestions but I believe that, along with the help of Lynda, the debut Designerati really does feature the cream of the design world".
Later we’ll call on you again to help rank our top 10, but right now we simply need you to pick your favourite three.
Each of the top 100 will receive a profile in our Designerati publication. If you or someone you work with appears in the top 100, please get in touch with The Drum via sam.scott@thedrum.com.
