2015 Book, Jacket, and Journal Show

The 2015 Book, Jacket, and Journal Show was an AAUP landmark: 2015 marked the 50th anniversary of the annual design competition. As we recognize the incredible tradition of excellence the show has become, we continue to look forward to new, inspired, innovative scholarly press design. To that end, as part of the 2015 competition, the AAUP launched a much-anticipated new category for digital projects.

The 50th Anniversary Design Show premiered in June. Watch the presentation: AAUP 2015: 50th Anniversary of the Book, Jacket, and Journal Show from AAUP on Vimeo.
