Beauty and brains? Yes, it’s possible. This year AIGA will be awarding honors to design work that’s both aesthetically pleasing and effective at solving the client’s challenges.
Submit your work into one or both of AIGA’s revamped competitions:

365 | Design Effectiveness is still the place to enter those amazing artifacts, only now it has been enhanced to include effectiveness criteria. Looks are still important, but they will be weighed together with smarts. Submit any type of digital, print or cross-media design work used in the marketplace in 2010—from posters to websites, annual reports to games, motion graphics to packaging, books to interactive kiosks. Anything goes.
bullet
Making the Case, a brand new competition, is your opportunity to show not what you make but the way you think—through case studies outlining your brilliant strategies. AIGA provides the structure to create case studies, you contribute the content, and everyone in the profession wins. A discerning jury will identify the case studies that demonstrate the value of design in a clear, compelling and accessible way. The winning case studies will be published on AIGA.org, serving as an effective tool to explain the power of design to clients, students, peers and the public.
The deadline is only two weeks away—March 10. Enter now!

Artists' Books 2011, ?
Call for Entries
Artists' Books 2011 Exhibition
June 13 - July 23, 2011
Cuesta College Art Gallery
San Luis Obispo, CA 93403-8106
Just a short introduction to the call for entries for "Artists' Books 2011",
my name is David Prochaska; I am an instructor of fine art at Cuesta
College, San Luis Obispo, California. Since 1999 I have organized an annual
book arts exhibition, to expose our local community to the community of
artists making books. These exhibitions have grown each year, both in the
number of books exhibited, as well as the number of enthusiastic visitors to
these installations. If you are looking to expose your artist books to a
new and enthusiastic audience, then this is the exhibition for you.
In these times of fiscal restraints, we are all aware of the limited funding
accessible to the arts. At the same time we must, as artists, be aware of
the need to build greater exposure to all art forms. For this reason we must
continue to ask the artists contributing to these exhibitions to assist in
the transportation of their books. (Mailing fees generally cost between $10
to $20 dollars.) With no entry fee or other charges this is a small price to
pay for the chance to get your books out to the people. The juror for
year?s exhibition will be the Cuesta College Book Arts students.
This is a ?hands on? exhibition! We want to encourage the visitors to
interact with these book forms, so please send books you want people to
interact with. We will provide gloves to the visitors to protect the books
from any soiling. But again, we really do hope to build a willingness to
interact with the books exhibited.
The exhibition will display between 80-100 books, so your work will be in
good company.
To participate in "Artists' Books 2011", please write or e-mail me for a
prospectus.
