Response: Society of Publication Designers Awards Finalists

Jan sent us a PDF that had all the winners for this year's design awards.  I was disappointed that the issues weren't linked up, but managed to find some of the feature and cover designs online.   A lof of the magazines featured really surprised me, like Bloomberg Businessweek and Elle Collections (UK).


I was blown away by some of the designs I saw and wanted to include some of my favorites that I found here, just in case you didn't check the e-mail!

Elle UK: Catwalk Colour

I love the organization of the looks by color

ahem* COLOUR

From a design standpoint, these cutouts must have taken ages.  I LOVE IT.

I found these photos on bargainista fashionista.

I always love the design of the New York Times Magazine and was not at all surprised to see them on the list.  

"What Happened to Air France Flight 447?"

"Can The Bulldog Be Saved?"

Bloomberg Businessweek: Crisis in Japan

For all of us designers who may be freaking out about the impending future, I hope you found some inspiration and hope in these covers.  For example, this last Japan cover-- any one in our class could execute it.  What it takes is passion and a kickass idea. 

I believe in us!
