What the Judges Said – The electric blue script “TAYCAN” foil stamped on the outside carton is just a tease. The next layer is a sexy, black, die cut sleeve asking the question that can only be answered by the gorgeous brochure hidden inside. Not often a printed piece can be described as electrifying. As you turn pages the ink accelerates. Elegant craftsmanship. Wonder what would happen if this brochure was plugged in? Stunning color.

What the Judges Said – This calendar might create a new reality show for the graphic arts community. The challenge as you flip from month to month is to make a determination of how each month was printed and designed. The tricky geometry and the graphic nuance call for educated guessing. A smorgasbord of color and technique. Fortunately, the lithographic answers are bound in on the last page. This reveal party might be pay for view.

What the Judges Said – Remarkable event kit designed to launch materials for new products. Embedded in the eye-catching pink container is a video display that is activated as the magnet seal is released on the outside layer. The creative portion is expanded because this work of art is designed to be reinvented as future products are released. Also, the video messages can be updated. Of all the entrants in the toughest category in the competition, this was the best.
