yupo
1000+ votes in designer's choice
More than a thousand people voted online to pick Yupo's Designer's Choice winner, jewelry designer Toni Young. Young paints onto YUPO 68# text paper, cuts it into strips and heats it to form beads which are then strung together to form unique bracelets. The Designer's Choice Award is the second stage in the company's Wally Awards extravaganza. In the first stage, a panel of judges selected three designs for top honors: Clear magazine, printed entirely on YUPO synthetic paper; a menu designed for Sugar, a Chicago-based dessert bar; and a business card submitted by Chuck Goding of the Route 3 creative agency. The judges - Bridget De Socio of Parsons School of Design and the Socio X firm; Corrinne Hodgins of Quebecor printers; Bill Mayer, illustrator and creator of Yupo's popular Wally mascot; Randy Smith of SVP Partners; and this magazine's own Gordon Kaye - were also asked to nominate additional entries for the Designer's Choice category.

answers arrive on the dot

Even the most complex, brilliant print pieces all come down to dots. Domtar Answer Pack: On Dots, the latest edition in the Answer Pack designers' reference series, literally demonstrates dots from every angle, revealing how designers can produce exciting work with a little 'dot savvy' and the right paper selections. Pointillism expert "Claire" shares "the pigments of her imagination" with vivid cards demonstrating ways to manipulate dot printing to produce special effects. The piece explores the use of colored dots on colored paper, the differences between coating and varnishing, how to manage dot gain and more. It also offers a first hand look at how successfully Domtar premium text, cover and writing papers perform under the most demanding design conditions. On Dots joins the other Answer Pack editions On Color and On Texture.

international paper
what goes around comes around

"Did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine a creative competition that could reward you with a real paying project? We did. And then we created one." With that statement, International Papers has launched Full Circle, a competition that offers winners recognition, money and an opportunity for a paid project from the company. Entry to the contest is free, and it is intended to reward excellence in work printed primarily on Strathmore, Beckett, Via or BriteHue. Projects will be judged based on three equally weighted criteria: aesthetics, communication and use of paper as a design element. Full Circle rewards up to four key members of the design and production team: the designer/specifier, printing sales representative, paper distributor specification representative and paper sales representative. The grand prize: $5,000 to each recipient, a custom trophy and a possible paid assignment for next year's Full Circle promotional campaign. All winners will be publicized in a trade publication and a winner's showcase book. The deadline is June 30 for work produced between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004.
