50 Books | 50 Covers of 2020
This survey of book design represents perhaps the longest-standing legacy in American graphic design. Beginning in 1923, the AIGA Fifty Books of the Year competition was a yearly mainstay. A time-honored tradition, this celebration of books design aims to identify the 50 best-designed books and the 50-best designed book covers of the year.
Live Design Competiton
Command X
The Command X was run on two consecutive days via a Zoom webinar. Our contestants had one week to complete the first challenge, and one day to complete the second. Each night, the live audience will voted for a winner to receive that evening's prizes. In addition, we had an opportunity for our audience members to chat, answer questions, and win giveaways.
