365: AIGA Design Annuals

Each year, AIGA publishes an annual to showcase the work selected in “365: AIGA Annual Design Competitions” and “AIGA 50 Books/50 Covers,” as the best examples of design excellence for that given year. These catalogues feature photographs of each winning selection as well as jurors' comments and extensive credits. Recent books have also featured contextual essays for each section, jurors' work and biographies, and retrospectives of the AIGA medalists. Members receive the annual as a membership benefit, but a limited number of some annuals are also available for purchase in the AIGA online store.
