Graphic Design USA has awarded ISA a Certificate of Excellence award in its 2014 American Graphic Design Awards competition for the online design of InTech Plus, which ISA launched earlier this year to connect automation and control professionals to an array of new and different automation-related information and functionality.
For five decades, Graphic Design USA has sponsored competitions to showcase excellence among professionals in creative fields. Only 15 percent of the entries in the 2014 American Graphic Design Awards competition-which this year attracted more than 8,000 applications-received Certificate of Excellence Awards.
“ISA is very pleased and excited to be presented with this prestigious design award,” says Susan Colwell, Manager of ISA Publications Development. “InTech Plus reflects ISA’s commitment to innovation and the ‘coolest delivery’ of new tools, products and programs for automation professionals. The fresh and modern design of the application plays an essential part in our ability to deliver engaging content in a new and compelling way.”
Winning American Graphic Design Award entries are featured in Graphic Design USA’s 250-page annual publication (and digital flipbook version), Annual Winners Gallery website section, and annual iPad app.
