Stylish badges of famous London landmarks, a photo frame inspired by journeys across the capital, and a bag that converts into a picnic mat.

These were just three of the innovative entries in this year’s Design Ventura competition, a design award to encourage students’ creativity and enterprise skills.

The competition, launched by the Design Museum and run in partnership with Deutsche Bank, challenged youngsters in years 9, 10 and 11 at London state schools to create “a well-designed, enterprising product” to be sold at the Design Museum’s shop in London.

First prize went to pupils from Trinity School in Lewisham, south London, who designed a badge set with images of famous London landmarks. Their product, Pics Pins, saw off competition from more than 100 secondary schools.
