Portland Design Firm Pulp+Wire Earns 7 GDUSA Awards.

Pulp+Wire was recently selected by Graphic Design USA Magazine as a multi-award winner in the 2010 American Graphic Design Awards, held annually to recognize design’s best and brightest agencies.

For nearly five decades, Graphic Design USA has presented national design competitions that spotlight areas of excellence and opportunity for creative professionals. The American Graphic Design Awards is the original and the flagship, open to everyone in the creative community: advertising agencies, graphic design firms, corporations, institutions, publishers, and more. The awards honor outstanding work across all media: print and collateral, advertising and sales promotion, corporate identity and logos, web and interactive design, packaging and p-o-p, broadcast and motion graphics.
This year GDUSA examined over 8,000 entries, and only 15 percent of those received awards of excellence. Pulp+Wire, took home 7 gold awards for their innovative work on several campaigns, including:

» Freeport Merchants Association: FMA Mobile App (mobile media)
» Susan L. Curtis Foundation: Fundraising Collateral (non-profit)
» Juiced Apparel: Logo
» Mowbi: Website (a collaborative effort with Mowbi’s web and mobile developers)
» Smart Homeowners Media Kit: Online Interactive
» ToeGoz 2010 Sandal Catalog: Brochure/Catalog

Pulp+Wire owner and lead designer, Taja Dockendorf, was extremely excited about this year’s effort. “Last year we were thrilled to have had three campaigns chosen (Summit Spring, DennyMike’s ‘Cue Stuff, and Urban Spice), but to win seven awards this year, across several media platforms, is incredible. It’s a real testament to the creativity and hard work that our design and account teams put in to our concepts every day.”
