This year’s showcase of more than 800 projects from more than 9,000 entries reflects the increasingly expansive ways in which first-rate graphic design shapes business and society, products and services, commerce and culture. Winning projects run the gamut from traditional print and packaging to nontraditional internet and interactive, from dream assignments to bread and butter endeavors, from large creative departments to independent design studios, from established stars to rising newcomers, from red states to blue. You can see it here as well as on our responsive website and digital magazine.
