Four out of five prizes awarded in the 2010 Student Graphic illustration competition have gone to London College of Garden Design Diploma graduates. Click here to see more of their work.

Henrietta Murray Wicks won the Conceptual sketches category of which the judges said ‘These sketches demonstrate the essence of good concept sketches – quick to produce, if necessary in the presence of the client, and rendered in a clear, simple and striking graphic style.’

John Davies won the planting plans category of which the judges said ‘A very clear and precise planting plan utilising conventional symbols with carefully annotated plant name labels. This plan would be easy for a contractor to follow.’

Phoebe D’Arcy won for her perspective drawings of which the judges said ‘this was the best example entered in this category of a clear and simple perspective sketch to get across to a client the designer’s intention for a garden space….. this sketch made the viewer really believe that they were in the future garden space – very well done.’
And Lucy Walton was a joint winner of the 3D modeling category with the judges saying it ‘epitomised the essence and value of the 3D model to the designer’
