UCDA Design Awards

I traveled to Louisville, Kentucky this week to attend the University and College Designers' Association (UCDA) Design Conference. It was a great trip and an awesome, very inspirational gathering of those in my field of which I will write more about later. Here's a pic of the "winners circle", which I am very proud to be a part of having received an award of excellence for print design:

Design Week, hosted by the Design Council of Saskatchewan, will be held October 21-25. The week is an open invitation to the public to learn about the different areas of design through a series of free lectures and other educational events such as tours, open houses and symposiums culminating in the Premiers' Awards of Excellence in Design.

Booyah!

Awesome day today. Received word that I won a University and College Designers Association (UCDA) Award of Excellence for work I did on this piece - the 2011-2012 SIAST Annual Report. The wire-o bound document with multiple covers embellished with silver foil will also be displayed in the permanant archive at UCDA headquarters. It's especially significant as my employer was recognized amongst nearly 1000 entries including submissions from institutes such as Harvard and Yale. #goSIAST #Booyah!

More to follow in October when awards are officially handed out at the UCDA Design Conference in Kentucky:
