Fazaal Naufer, the Head of Design at Digibrush Productions – a boutique creative and digital media agency has won the Silver A’ Design Award in Graphics and Visual Communication Design. The accolade was for the project ‘100 Inspirational Quotes’ which is a book of motivational quotes.
The Silver A’ Design Award is a prestigious award that goes to the top 5% of designs that have attained an exemplary level of perfection in design. Entries to the A’ Graphic Design Awards are peer reviewed and anonymously judged by a grand jury panel of prominent academics, influential press members and experienced professionals. In addition, the Head of Design at Digibrush is now listed at World Design Rankings (http://www.worlddesignrankings.com/).
Fazaal Naufer commented on his victory saying, “This book was designed to inspire and motivate people, and the design challenge was to do it using typography and no images. I believe that typography is a powerful element in design and helps communicate more than mere words. Typography is indeed an element that can be used more effectively for brand communication and I hope to see more of it in Sri Lanka.”
Digibrush is a multi-faceted and resourceful agency that associates with numerous brands, both big and small. Digibrush offers a choice of services under three categories: ‘Design and Creative Solutions’, ‘Social Media and Online Marketing’ and ‘Web Solutions’.

Sharing his views on the win, co-founder Hisham Zulfiqar said, “This is indeed a very proud moment for us as Fazaal is the first Sri Lankan to win a Silver Award at this globally renowned competition.” He further added, “I always believed that Digibrush consists of some of the best young talent in the industry. Earlier in 2015, Digibrush duo Infas and Sarah represented Sri Lanka at Cannes Young Lions and now this victory further establishes this belief and is a testimony to the type of agency we claim to be – a boutique agency that delivers big results.”
