Hillstreet Shopping Centre challenged students across Middlesbrough and 海角直播 to create a design that captured the heart of Middlesbrough to feature on a limited edition reusable shopping bag. Ben Ryder, a second year Product Design student was selected as the winner of the competition. His design features the iconic Anish Kapoor Temenos structure, Middlesbrough鈥檚 Transporter Bridge, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, Middlesbrough Football Club and the 海角直播 logo, in a quirky design to showcase all things great about Middlesbrough.

As well as having his design featured on new Hillstreet Shopping Centre bags for life, Ben also won an Apple iPad along with a 拢50 gift card to spend at Hillstreet Shopping Centre.

Ben said: 'I am overwhelmed to be chosen as the winner of Hillstreet Shopping Centre鈥檚 鈥業n The Bag鈥� competition. As a student of Product Design, this competition has given me the chance to work creatively on a specific brief which is a great experience.

"I am aware how valuable these experiences can be to building a strong CV once I graduate, especially in other areas of design, such as graphic design and this will definitely be a strong and impressive portfolio piece. I am very excited that my design will feature on bags that will be carried by shoppers in Middlesbrough and I can鈥檛 wait to see the final product.鈥�

Peter Drabble, Centre Manager, said 'Ben鈥檚 bold design really stood out as it captured all things great about Middlesbrough in an innovative and quirky way. We are delighted to be able to assist Ben and promote the strength of his work and passion for Arts and Design. We look forward to be able to use the bags for life in an upcoming event.'
