From the Nominator

"Evermore shares the stories of Texas Tech’s best and brightest, from the pioneers with a bold vision who laid the foundation 100 years ago to those who now propel our national research institution into the future. It honors the alumni who have faithfully supported the university throughout its growth as well as the faculty and researchers conducting world-altering work, and the students who will carry on the legacy. We endeavor to reinforce that quintessential Texas Tech ideal: "From Here, It’s Possible." 

Issue 2 focused on a wide variety of stories that would be of interest to our readers, from the inspirational dreams of one student and the steps he’s taking to fulfill them, to the humorously tall tales of a group of larger-than-life alumni, to the emotional family history of an architecture professor whose blind sister changed his trajectory forever. Issue 3, on the other hand, took a far more focused approach with only two main features, a profile of a student-athlete who went on to become an Olympic gold medalist and a long, in-depth commemoration of Texas Tech’s ties to the final Columbia space shuttle mission in connection to its 20th anniversary. The design of each spread, uniquely suited to each story, is a vital part of our storytelling efforts. Our alumni have embraced Evermore, voiced their enjoyment of it, and subscribed by the hundreds for future issues."

From the Judges

The beautiful visuals captured the judges' attention immediately, and the Columbia package is incredibly well done. Evermore is solid and top-notch. It is a beautiful work of art that truly commemorates the space mission in a unique and creative way. The layouts and compositions were very distinctive, making this submission stand out.
