Congratulations to Grand Rapids Public Library

By on August 4, 2010

Congratulations to Grand Rapids (Michigan) Public Library for winning the “Best in Show”  design award from ALA for their Bibliographies and Booklists. Thought you’d enjoy them.

What I love:

  • Integration of covers into the overall design
  • Maximizing the beauty of the original covers
  • Clever writing. Succinct and inviting. Not over communicating
  • The creative is simple, elegant and modern

Congratulations to Grand Rapids. [Images below show front and back.]
