44th Publication Design Annual

The best visual design work is about emotion as much as appearance. Powerful, brilliant pictures€"presented in just the right layout€"can make us experience a whole range of emotions, from fear to attraction, anger to happiness. The Society of Publication Designers€ (SPD) annual competition seeks the very best in editorial design work. Judged by a worldwide panel of top designers, the 44th edition of Rockport€s best-selling SPD series celebrates the journalists, editorial directors, photographers, and other talented individuals who brought events of the year 2008€"with all its triumphs and disasters€"to our doorsteps and computer screens. Stunning full-page layouts present everything from products to people, and objects to events, in ways that make each palpable and unforgettable.
