I got designs into the 2005 Graphic Design USA design annual

The 2005 Graphic Design USA annual has accepted two of my pieces for their 2005 American Graphic Design Awards! Here’s the two works:

Brewster Rockit Sales Kit

KRT Campus brochure/mailer

Pretty good, considering these are the only two pieces that I submitted. 100% acceptance rate for me! (vs. the 12% overall last year)

Background on the competition:

Every year the Editors of Graphic Design:usa invite thousands of United States-based advertising agencies, graphic design firms, corporate inhouse creative departments and publishers to enter their best work in their national design competition.

This competition honors new, outstanding graphic design, advertising art and marketing communications created by American graphic designers and art directors and at the same time provides a vehicle for exposure to clients, colleagues and the business community.

Now in its 26th year, this competition is among the most prestigious, as well as open and democratic, of all such events. It is also among the most selective as last year only 12% of entries were honored this year.

Winners of the 2005 American Graphic Design Awards competition will be reproduced in Graphic Design usa’s Awards Annual, published in December 2005. This edition will be seen by more than 100,000 ad agencies, corporate clients, publishers, graphic design firms and others during the course of the year.
