 “I am honored to receive such high praise for my work,” said Natalie Ede. “My goal as a designer is and has always been to make sure my clients are happy. To also receive national recognition for my work for the third time in my career is truly icing on the cake.” 

Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) has published the winners of its 53rd annual American Graphic Design Awards™. These awards honor the best graphic design work of the year in categories including print and collateral, identity and branding, packaging and point-of-purchase, advertising and sales promotion, direct mail and catalogs, magazines and books, broadcast and video, social media and infographics, and internet and interactive design.

For more than five decades, GDUSA has sponsored design competitions that spotlight areas of excellence and opportunity for creative professionals. The American Graphic Design Awards is the flagship competition and is open to everyone in the graphic arts community — including graphic design firms, advertising agencies, in-house corporate and institutional designers, publishers and other media. This year there were over 10,000 entries; a very selective 15 percent were selected for recognition.

“Graphic design is among the fastest growing professions in this country,” said GDUSA Editor Gordon Kaye. “Its importance is increasingly recognized in commerce and culture.”  

According to Kaye, the winners of the 2016 American Graphic Design Awards are among the most talented and effective designers working today. “They are the best and brightest the creative community has to offer,” said Kaye.

An awards showcase appears in print, the web, as well as in digital format for desktop, tablet and phone. The Sponsor of this year’s competition is Verso Corporation.
