And what’s nicer than the accolade of colleagues?”

Front pages: The Spotlight publishing house in Munich publishes language magazines. For all his titles a series cover was developed. The question is always: “What is ... Italian, American, German, etc.” The series is typographically varied, because each language gets its own typography. The white background signals purity and truth. In addition, on the newsstand a white title is more noticeable than a darker one.

Lebensmittel Zeitung Deutscher Fachverlag, D Award of Excellence

Visualization: The “Lebensmittel Zeitung” from Deutscher Fachverlag stands out for its concise visualization of topics:  A vegetarian bratwurst is marked with the green flag “Veggie”.  Health guards criticize sugar consumption.

“Under pressure” is the title and a piece of sugar cubes is put into a screw clamp.  Mealworms in a test tube visualize that supermarkets like Coop Switzerland offer these exotic delicacies.  Chinese lanterns and a decorative frame visualize the topic of China: Chinese cook less and less. They visit restaurants or order their food online.

Jury statement: The visualization of topics stands out in their bold and surprising presentation and distinguishes the “Lebensmittel Zeitung” very strongly from other publications in the segment of specialist journals.
