Visual Communication Design Students of Universitas Bunda Mulia Visit the International Exhibition “Making The Mark: D&AD 2025 Winners Exhibition”

Jakarta, October 19, 2025 – Students from the Visual Communication Design (VCD) Program of Universitas Bunda Mulia (UBM) conducted an industry visit on Saturday, October 18, 2025, to the international exhibition “Making The Mark: D&AD 2025 Winners Exhibition” held at Museum Koleksi, Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta

The exhibition is a result of a long-standing collaboration between the Indonesian Graphic Designers Association (ADGI) and D&AD (Design and Art Direction, London), both of which have worked closely to strengthen the global design ecosystem. Officially opened on October 15, 2025, Making The Mark showcases the best works from the D&AD Awards 2025 winners — one of the world’s most prestigious honors that, since its founding in 1962, has celebrated creativity and excellence in design and advertising.

Jakarta serves as the first stop of the global touring exhibition before continuing to Taipei and Tokyo, marking the growing recognition of Indonesia’s design community within the international creative network. The exhibition presents a curated selection of works spanning categories such as branding, packaging design, editorial design, typography, and more.

Ritchie Ned Hansel, Chairman of ADGI, expressed that the exhibition is not only a showcase of innovative visual works but also a global dialogue that brings together values, processes, and creative ideas from around the world.

“We hope young Indonesian designers can witness firsthand the global standards of design practice and find inspiration to keep growing,” he said.

The visit was joined by UBM VCD students as part of ADGI EDU, the educational network under ADGI that focuses on advancing design learning quality, academic collaboration, and industry engagement. Through this visit, UBM students gained firsthand exposure to international design practices while broadening their understanding of current trends and innovations in the global creative industry.

Making The Mark: D&AD 2025 Winners Exhibition is part of the Road to ADGI Design Week 2025, a series of pre-events leading up to the main festival in November. The initiative reflects ADGI’s ongoing efforts to strengthen collaborative networks and elevate Indonesia’s presence in the international design landscape.
