From the Judges' Report
What first stood out to our review panel was the compact, fun-size shape and format of this piece, along with a red jelly wristband that doubles as a belly band. Fully opened, this clever, 10-panel, accordionfold brochure measures just over 3 feet long, allowing plenty of space for photos, text blocks, quotes, infographics, and a list of majors without seeming overwhelming or unwieldy. Readers can flip through the pages like a book (“Each spread is very clean and uses a distinct design that complements the others,” said one reviewer) or unfold it completely for a scan of the whole thing.
