The annual D&AD Student Awards showcase the best emerging design and advertising talent from educational institutions around the world. Beating out the 388 selected entries, Chi Shing Lo, a student at the UK's De Montfort University scooped first prize for his unique concept phone.
Lo's creation replaces the traditional camera viewfinder with a simple hole that one can look through when taking photos; the hole has a mirror surrounding it for those who love taking self-portraits. The hole is also used to hang the phone on its charging point thereby doing away with messy charge cables that are prevalent with current phones.
See more pictures after the jump.
