Cal Poly Students Win Awards in Packaging Challenge
TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG,THAT IS THE QUESTION
Outstanding Blog
Cal Poly graphic communication students won two awards for a pop-up mailer at the annual Phoenix Challenge Flexo Packaging Competition last spring. For the yearlong Phoenix Challenge, student teams select a local company to rebrand and market its business with collateral materials using the flexographic print process. The Cal Poly team, which competed with eight other schools in Nashville, TN, received Best Concept and Best Graphics awards. In addition, Cal Poly received a silver medal for print excellence for the 2014 Phoenix Challenge team’s thermochromic wine tag, which turns blue when the wine bottle is chilled to the proper temperature. The award was announced at the Flexographic Technical Association’s Forum Banquet. http://cla.calpoly.edu/cla_2014_graphics-phoenix-prize.html
