The materials used to
create the exhibition displays were based on the needs of Publicolor, a
nonprofit organization that teaches at-risk youth the trade of
commercial painting.

Publicolor needs a lot of
rosin paper, so the designers used tubes to support display tables.

They also need paint
buckets, another material used to support the display tables.

December 11, 2008—February 27, 2009
A juried selection of the best-designed communication design
produced in 2007, judged in 2008. At the AIGA National Design
Center from December 11, 2008 through February 27, 2009.
Design excellence results from creativity, inspiration, skill,
experience, intuition and discipline. AIGA's design competitions extend a
legacy that began more than 90 years ago and are widely recognized
as the most selective statements on design excellence today.
AIGA is committed to using selections from its annual
competitions to demonstrate the process of design; the role of the
designer; and the value of design to business, culture and society
at large. The survey of selections is published in AIGA's virtual
gallery at designarchives.aiga.org,
published in a substantial book that serves as an authoritative
chronicle of current design, and exhibited at the AIGA National Design
Center in New York City. A set of each year's selections also
becomes part of the AIGA Design Archives at the Denver Art Museum
in Colorado.
