Catalog Takes Honors in International Competition
August 30, 2007
Our imaginations are taking us places.
The Indiana University Office of Creative Services has earned a bronze medal in the visual design in print category of the 2007 Circle of Excellence Awards presented by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).
The winning publication is a 2006 catalog for IU’s Lilly Library, “Places of the Imagination: A Celebration of Worlds, Islands, and Realms & Imaginary and Constructed Languages.” Designed by David Wang and edited by Linda Stephenson, the catalog was printed in conjunction with the Lilly Library exhibit of the same name.
The catalog also won a silver award in the international University & College Designers Association (UCDA) competition earlier this year. The catalog evokes an Old World feel through carefully selected paper stocks that enhance images from some of the Lilly Library’s famous holdings. Featured works include a range of imagined places, such as Dante’s Inferno, Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, L. Frank Baum’s Oz, and Sir Thomas More’s Utopia.
In 2007, CASE received 3,163 entries for consideration in 40 categories from 701 higher education institutions, independent schools, and nonprofits around the world. Judges gave 319 bronze, silver, and gold awards. Twelve institutions received the top honor, the grand gold.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., CASE is a professional organization for advancement professionals who work in alumni relations, communications, and development. CASE serves more than 3,300 universities, colleges, schools, and related organizations in 54 countries.
