From the tremendously rich variety of Print's Regional Design Annual winners, Print's editors have selected 200 superb applications of illustration and photography in a wide range of print communications for the latest in the Print's Best series. Because of the Regional Annual's dense format, these winning entries had to be shown small. This book provides the opportunity not only to show the pieces at a generous size, thereby enhancing their impact, but also to feature many of them along with related materials.
Here we have brilliantly effective ads, editorial spreads, posters, book and magazine covers, direct-mail, packaging, and corporate publications, all of which use illustration or photography, or a combination of the two, as a central element in the design.
Publishing companies account for about a third of the work shown here - including newspaper pages, magazine covers and spreads, and book covers. Print ads represent many different kinds of businesses - among them beverage, food, delivery service, window manufacturers, and sports equipment companies. Posters promote arts festivals, art schools, seminars, and movies, and some do double duty as self-promotion pieces for their creators. Self-promotion for photographers and illustrators runs the gamut from posters and direct-mail pieces to printed ads. Corporate publications for well-known companies like IBM, Kodak, Adobe, and Strathmore include capability brochures, product promotions, and, of course, annual reports.
The work shown covers the gamut of current illustrative and photographic techniques, making the book an invaluable resource for anyone in the design field.
