AIGA 50 books/50 Covers of 2007
After careful and considered review of more than 900 entries, the jury of “AIGA 50 books/50 Covers of 2007” competition selected a group of 100 examples of outstanding book and book cover design produced in 2007.
The jury’s selections will be mounted as a public exhibition scheduled to open at the AIGA National Design Center in New York on September 10. The exhibit will travel across the country to AIGA chapters and student groups during 2009. In addition, selections become part of the AIGA Design Archives, a searchable visual database of exemplary design, are documented in 365: AIGA Year In Design 29, an annual print publication and the physical artifacts join the AIGA Design Archives at the Denver Art Museum.
