The Best Job on Earth

There aren’t many jobs out there where you not only earn a living by performing your duties, but that you have opportunities to win awards, too. Graphic design offers both!

Studio 22 has been honored in the American Graphic Design Awards for the fourth consecutive year. This year’s winning entries are all in the 2008 report category: Diesel Technology Forum Annual Report, Desert Glory Sustainability Report and Strategic Sustainability Consulting Sustainability Report.

Stats on the winners:

While not a sustainability report, Diesel Technology Forum‘s report was reconfigured to be dimensionally smaller and contain fewer pages than in years past. We printed less hard copies and sourced a green certified printer, using vegetable-based inks and FSC-certified 100% recycled/50% PCW paper.

Desert Glory‘s inaugural sustainability report was not printed, and was instead created specifically for web download. We maintained print-quality standards and page count, however, in the event the company wishes to print any reports commercially.

Strategic Sustainability Consulting‘s report – their third with us – was also a web-based report. Creating a digital report was a first for SSC, as we’ve produced printed reports for them from the start. However, with this more flexible medium, we were able to go bold with color, graphic elements and page shape with the knowledge that they would look great on-screen.

This recognition wouldn’t be possible without our incredible clients and the trust they place in us to create these pieces. We thank you!

Studio 22 Work to be Published in “Big Book of Green Design”

Three pieces have been chosen to appear in Crescent Hill Books’ “Big Book of Green Design” due out this fall, and we are quite excited!

From Amazon: “This book is very much a ‘see what your colleagues are doing’, idea-sharing, inspiration-generating compilation for agencies, freelance designers, printers and other creative professionals. With a foreword by Eric Benson, creator of website named re-nourish and an expert on sustainable procedures within graphic design, the book will be comprised of eight chapters, all fully illustrated with graphic design ideas, drawings, and photographs: Recycled and FSC Papers; Vegetable-Based Inks; Green Clients; Repurposed Design; Natural Elements; Biodegradable; Anti-Packaging; and, Sharing the Word.”

The following sustainably-produced pieces will be featured:

Three Pieces Receive American Graphic Design Awards

Studio 22 is recognized with three American Graphic Design Awards for 2008. With over 10,000 entries from which to choose, and less than 15% making the cut, we’re honored to be on the winners list. This nearly four decade-old competition honors outstanding new work in print and collateral, advertising and sales promotion, packaging and point-of-purchase, internet and interactive design, broadcast and motion graphics, corporate identity and logos. The competition is judged by a panel of nationally-recognized leaders in the graphic design and advertising industries.

Our winning entries include a sustainability report, a catalog website and a promotional campaign.

A huge ‘thank you’ to our clients, who make these types of announcements possible!

Great Things Happening Here!

We’re happy to announce several pieces of good news at Studio 22 this month!

Silver ADDY Award
Studio 22 was awarded a Silver ADDY Award at the Greater Frederick Advertising Federation’s ADDY Awards ceremony on March 1st. Sixteen percent of over 300 entries were awarded at this year’s gala. Our winning piece was the 2007 Sustainability Report we created for Evolution Markets. Jennifer Woofter, of Strategic Sustainability Consulting, contributed the research and development on the report; while Evan Ard, of Evolution Markets, provided his marketing direction. We’re honored to be recognized in the Annual Report category, which is typically dominated by financial reports.

Crystal Prism Award
Also at the ADDY Awards ceremony, the studio’s Principal, Eryn Willard, was honored with the Crystal Prism Award for leadership and commitment to the regional American Advertising Federation chapter.

New Memberships
We’re proud to announce that we have aligned ourselves with two new (to us) organizations: The Designer’s Accord and Outdoor Industries Women’s Coalition. We hope to become a worthwhile contributor to both.
