The
Institute of Design Montréal
created the CGI Young Designer Award
to underscore the talent of a promising
young Quebec designer in practice for
less than ten years. The winner must
have shown exceptional aptitudes and
must have exhibited professional distinction.
In addition, the young designer's current
achievements must illustrate mastery
of the requisite knowledge as well
as remarkable inventiveness and creativity.
Graphic designer with Pointe-à-Callière since 1997, Dominique Boudrias
successfully supervises the deployment of all the elements of the Museum's visual
identity and corporate image program. She graduated in plastic arts from the
Cégep du Vieux-Montréal and earned a baccalaureate in graphic design
from UQÀM. She has fulfilled mandates from the Orchestre symphonique de
Laval and the Institute of Design Montréal. Her work —her posters
in particular—was rewarded by the Prix Michel Cartier from the Société du
patrimoine d’expression du Québec, the Graphika Grand Prize, the
Gutenberg Award and the Prix La touche magique of the Société des
fêtes et festivals du Québec and the second prize of the Association
of American Museums (2005). The jury recognized the thinking underlying her creations,
the intelligence of the solutions proposed and the quality she insists on at
every step of her work.
