2013 Gold Award: Media Opportunities 2014 – The Worldwide Corrosion Authority

Advertising Media Kit

Judge’s Comments: NACE — NACE had a wonderful kit this year. The design was simple and organized. The tabs and consistent layout help potentially advertisers quickly and easily find the information they are looking for. I also really liked that they included an opening letter from the Group Publisher. They were the only entry to do so and it was a nice call-back to the magazines themselves. I also thought they did a wonderful job highlighting the readership statistics with a few quick info-graphics.

2013 Gold Award: Dimensions

Annual or Quarterly Magazine or Journal

Judge’s Comments: The association redesigned this issue in 2011 “to give it a clean, contemporary, sophisticated look and increase its readability and ease of navigation.” The design also included new departments that allowed the association to “give our readers a greater voice in the magazine and to more fully represent the diversity of our membership.” This title has all the elements of a gold winning entry. The front cover illustration draws you in and continues with great photography, readable typography and interesting graphics throughout the issue. This title clearly provides its members with useful information that can be applied to their specific institutions

2013 Gold Award: Past Future: North Carolina Medical Society Community Report

Annual Report

Judge’s Comments: This is a beautiful publication that uses photography and personal testimony to describe the mission and work of the society. It was almost like reading a magazine. The soft tones of the photographs and the silky feel of the paper contribute to the overall pleasant feel of this report. The personal statements were crafted in such a way as to pay tribute to the organization’s past, while addressing how the Society is adapting for both current and future change. The financial and administrative information, that is a basic requirement of every annual report, is kept to one succinct summary on the last page, thus allowing the emphasis on the society’s work and its members to be foremost throughout the report.
