About this event

Publication Design competitors create a multi-page publication (newsletter, magazine layout, brochure, or similar) based on an annually released brief. Judging covers layout quality, typography choices, use of images and white space, visual consistency, and adherence to the brief. Adobe InDesign is the professional-standard tool; strong entries have a clear visual hierarchy and consistent grid.
