The card game Press Ahead, designed and produced by students from the Stuttgart Media University convinced the Jury oft the Golden Pixel Award. On the occasion of a great gala celebration at Vienna, they received the prize for the category student productions on 8 November 2012. The Golden Pixel Award was announced for the first time in 2001 and is now one of the most prestigious prizes of the Austrian print and media industries. In 2012, almost 200 entries were recorded for 14 categories. Applications for the category student productions were invited worldwide in cooperation with the International Circle. Learn with Fun In the course of two semesters, nine students from the programmes Print and Media Technology and its German-Chinese counterpart developed the game from the first ideas up to the finished product. Press ahead is a game for three to six players of almost any age. It can be played at two levels and hence is fun and learning for beginners and experts alike. The question-and-answer game was published in five languages. It comprises 120 cards for the fields of prepress, press, finishing and packaging. The students created the questions and answers themselves, and they also organized the translations into English, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish. Here they were supported by fellow students who are native speakers in the respective languages. The project was led by Prof. Dr. Thomas Hoffmann-Walbeck and Dipl.-Ing. Sebastian Riegel from the Print and Media Technology programme. Single copies of the game may be ordered at riegel@hdm-stuttgart.de free of charge. The next opportunity to take part in the international Golden Pixel Award for student productions most probably will be in autumn 2013. The winners will be invited to Vienna.
