From the Judges' Report
Illustration really tells a story; we learn so much about the subject, even his personality, just from this one illustration.
Good collaboration between editorial and art is evident.
Beautifully executed. Liked the hand-rendered, free-flowing type, especially the title
A whimsical design that is fun and engaging. Nicely drawn illustration. Has a painterly feel with all of the various hand-rendered elements
This double-page illustration introduces a college alum who always dreamed of being an astronaut. His big grin, space suit with cool details and accessories, the myriad of planets and stars, and the hand-drawn type and headlines combine to create an appealing, playful portrait.
Fun, happy spread. The illustration, including the well-placed text, rendered a complete story that was quickly accessible and playful.
Typography matches well with illustration - it complements without distracting.
Illustration jumps off the page and addresses our "inner child" who dreams of going to space. Lots of interesting detail and fun elements.
