Lake County Press

What the Judges Said – The Peacock mantra is craftsmanship, heritage and excellence. This Best in Show represents that mission statement. Flawless color is synonymous with impeccable cabinetry and custom furniture. This is a legacy of work spanning three decades. Needless to say – lithography that is prouder than a peacock.

What the Judges Said – Dark Matter has established a new gold standard. The elegant blend of gold and distinctive black on the cover creates an irresistible urge to see the surprise inside. The text is a celebration of history, symbolism and creativity in sculpture. The reader transforms into a voyeur, becoming a visionary curator. Mystery tour – very rewarding.

SECOND RUNNER-UP
Imperial Communications
Sponsored by:
What the Judges Said – Contagious color implemented on this point-of-purchase display for Prosecco. Very labor-intensive exhibit adorned in a pastel blue as a background for the real visual treat. The optics show the product in relief appearing to be three dimensional. Impossible to do a fly-by and not purchase a bottle for a “friend” – or maybe for yourself.
2023 GRAPHICS EXCELLENCE AWARDS
BEST OF ILLINOIS
Lake County Press
What the Judges Said – A visual smorgasbord of printing and binding techniques. Each month represents brilliant photography on steroids. The production notes dictate the various blends of sorcery and magic as the seasons change throughout this extraordinary calendar. I wonder, does Merlin work in the pressroom?

Priority Press
What the Judges Said – This magazine reflects the collection of pieces of the Legal Defense Fund’s efforts. A reflection of timeless advocacy building a multi-ethnic democracy. The theme is truth – and a fight for it. This is required reading. Wish I had a subscription.

What the Judges Said – The Sub-Zero Group has extended an invitation to experience their luxury products. Pulling back the print curtain reveals an evolving brand ever changing with technological innovation. A tribute to three brands and decades of heritage. I need a new fridge.

BEST OF PACKAGING
Platinum Converting
What the Judges Said – This contagious, colorful, powerful promotional piece is a demonstration of ways to enhance and influence customers’ purchasing decisions. Just looking through the shiny glacene window, the viewer is introduced to a lush die-cut version of a farm at twilight on Mars. Truly, out of this world. Ink on paper is old school. In order to enhance a brand, the technology is available. Take the inexpensive trip to the Color Ink galaxy.
