Education, Churches, and Organizations ( Specialty ) Back

  • Place Name: First Place
    Contestant Name: Richmond magazine
    Entry Title: St. James Child Center
    Entry Credit: Abbi Bennett
    Judge Comment: For all the copy in this ad, the designer did a really good job of displaying it in an organized, easy to digest fashion. It also had great use of color indicating a children's mission organization. Very well done!
  • Place Name: Second Place
    Contestant Name: Richmond magazine
    Entry Title: Kurtulus Art
    Entry Credit: Abbi Bennett
    Judge Comment: I liked how the art was used directly in the ad at different sizes and shapes to create visual interest while still drawing the eye.
  • Competition Comment: I had trouble with the second ad here because it has a type with an extraneous comma at the end of Art Works. When I do design, errors like these are what I try to avoid so a second set of eyes is good to try to catch mistakes.
