The Printing & Imaging Association of Mid America recently presented Gill Studios, Lenexa, Kan., with four “Best of Category” awards at the PIA 2010 Graphex Graphic Excellence Awards Gala. Entries were judged first on technical complexity and the quality of printing, then on design features and overall appearance.
The four prize-winning offset and digitally printed submissions showcased Gill’s long-standing history of producing quality products suitable for high honors. Marriott Anchorage commissioned a room service menu intended to hang on doorknobs. Turner Network Television designed a custom die cut magnet to highlight six of their top television drama shows and complement their online promotions. Jeff Denham for U.S. Congress created eye-stopping signage to draw voter’s attention to the candidate. Stylesense, a shoes and accessories company based out of Ontario, Canada, fashioned a double-sided static cling vinyl decal to garner shopper’s attention in retail settings.
To ensure a fair and unbiased awards competition, all entries were judged by a team of printing experts from outside Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri. All “Best of Category” entries will be entered in the national Printing Industries of America Premier Print Awards.
