Award Press Release

Best Graphics Design Award presented to
Rainier Color Lithographers

For the production of

"Mahlum Architects Corporate Identity"

The IAPHC is truly honored to present the inaugural Adobe Systems Best Graphic Design Award. Our winning entry bespeaks an innate and expert sense of design – we quote from the entry: “Architecture lies at the intersection of the right brain and left, and the best of it, touches the heart.”

And does not that statement resonate equally well when we are absorbed in, and are awed and even moved by, the great designs that are emblematic of our Craft, our Art and our Science?

Consider this additional evocation from the winning entry: “Here is a room filled with books and silence. A page turns, a woman whispers, a chair pushes back over stone. What time is it? 1925? 1955? 2008? Great Architecture endures.”

And so too is great Graphic Design, timeless and enduring. Our hearty congratulations go to Rainier Color of Seattle, Washington for their elegant triumph in winning the Adobe Systems, Best Graphic Design Award for the sumptuous Mahlum Architects' Corporate Identity Brochure.
