BYU Arts Creative brought home one of the most sought after awards in the design community Saturday night for their work on the BYU Arts 2014-2015 season brochure. The coveted award, known as the Copper Ingot, was presented to BYU Arts Creative by the Salt Lake City chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). AIGA is the professional associate for design and annual host of the AIGA 100 Show Gala & Benefit, Salt Lake City’s most prestigious juried competition, which honors and showcases the year’s best designs. “This is big for BYU Arts and the College,” said Nick Mendoza, the Creative Services Manager for BYU Arts. “The out of state judges had great things to say about the brochure and were amazed that we were able to put all the event information in the limited space.” Of the 100 pieces selected for presentation at this years Show, only 10 are awarded the Copper Ingot; seven for designers in the professional category and three for designers in the student category. Randall Boothe, associate dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communications, praised the work of Mendoza and his student team. “What a wonderful recognition of the amazing work you and your students have put into not only our season brochure, but dozens of additional creative projects throughout this year.” Mendoza was quick to point out that their office would not function and enjoy the same degree of success without the direction of Ken Crossley, BYU Arts Production Marketing Manager, and their student employees:
