RISD’s 2008 undergraduate and graduate admissions catalogues, produced by RISD’s Communications + Design Division, have both won awards recently. Director of Admissions Ed Newhall BArch ‘74 and Gilbert Design, the Providence-based firm run by Joe Gilbert ‘74 GD and Melissa Gilbert ‘76 GD, jointly accepted the Mohawk Windpower Partnership Award for printing the undergrad book on FSC-certified Mohawk Options, which offsets 100% of the energy used to make it with Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from non-polluting windpower projects. Competing against 4,700 entries, the grad admissions catalogue designed by Isaac Gertman MFA ‘07 GD was selected by the American Institute of Graphic Arts as one of 255 “examples of outstanding design produced in 2007.” It will be included in 365: AIGA Annual Design Competitions 29, which will be presented as both a print annual and a traveling exhibition that opens at the AIGA National Design Center in NYC on December 10.
