Each year, AIGA celebrates the best design work of the previous twelve months through two prestigious competitions. Widely recognized as the most discerning statement on design excellence today, these competitions extend a legacy that began nearly 100 years ago.
The '365: AIGA Annual Design Competition' recognizes exciting new work in communication design, including packaging, branding, advertising, corporate communication, typography and illustration and entertainment. The 'AIGA 50 Books/50 Covers' competition reviews the best-designed books and book covers.
365: AIGA Year in Design 29 is the sourcebook for the 2008 winners of both. Selected by a distinguished jury of professional designers, featured works become part of the AIGA Design Archives and traveling exhibitions which debut at the AIGA National Design Center in New York. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in keeping up with today's most outstanding design and designers.
AIGA, the professional association for design, is the oldest and largest membership organization for design. AIGA's mission is to advance designing as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force. AIGA now represents more than 22,000 design professionals, educators and students through national activities and local programs developed by 63 chapters and 240 student groups.
