Created by Sydney Designer Duc Thuan Bui for a Designing to Win class, both designs were made to the same theme Glass and Grass. After review and feedback on the first design (left) Duc evolved the concept into the second, even more cohesive submission. An inspiring example of taking a good design and making it even better.
