This marks Signal’s second year as a sponsor of the fundraiser, and we have updated the promotional poster and event graphics we designed last year for the event.

Signal Creative Director Serves as Judge in First AIGA Alaska Awards

Robin Vuchnich, Creative Director at Signal’s Raleigh studio, was recently selected to serve as a judge in AIGA Alaska’s First Annual Design Show. AIGA Alaska was founded in 2010 by a group of 20 local designers as the 65th affiliated chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design. The organization assembled a group of outside design experts as the judging panel for their inaugural design competition, “The BIG One,” and Robin was honored to take part.

At the awards reception held November 12 in Anchorage, the Best in Show Award went to Jontue Hollingsworth of Headron Collider for a poster on the BP oil spill disaster entitled MADNESS! Winners were selected from a total of 66 entries which were received from 20 different parties including agencies, small firms, independent designers and photographers.

Robin gave her vote to the Jontue Hollingsworth poster as the Best in Show, though she says the decision was tough to make. “Alaska had some really great work in the promotion design category,” Robin noted. “A few super outstanding designs were in that mix competing for best of show.” She cited the Anchorage International Film Festival poster, the Go-Go’s tour art, the Screamin’ Yeti Designs logo and the Alaska Distillery Smoked Salmon Vodka campaign as particular standouts.

“Overall the work of the competition had a thread running through,” Robin said. “It was distinctly reflecting back all things Alaska — which is pretty neat.”
