Philadelphia Design Awards!
May 11, 2009 • 4:01 pm • POSTED BY mpark
Recently, AIGA Philadelphia held its inaugural Design Competition/Exhibition featuring the best of Philly design. Promoting the design community, the show was aptly titled, PDA (Philadelphia Design Awards): Show Some Love. With almost two years of planning under Michele Cooper, chair of the AIGA Philadelphia Design Awards committee, we were able to accomplish and almost exceed all our goals for this awards show.
For the identity of PDA, my studio-mates, of gdloft, and I were privileged to design the promotional material for this competition. With the art direction from Allan Espiritu, Mr. CEO of gdloft, our latest and final collateral piece for PDA is the winner’s catalog. A total of five hundred seventy-six catalogs were printed, representing all (576) entrants to this competition. Each catalog is individually numbered (1-576) and has a different color for its cover, thus making each one unique. The show is held at Always by Design Axd so please come if you’d like a copy!
In retrospect, the past two years of planning have been exciting and encouraging. The work that Philadelphia produces proves that we should not be overlooked. Thanks to all on the PDA committee for making this a great success!

Great write up Mike, respect!
I love the shots of the stacked books and finished piece. Everything turned out so great. Nice moves.
CONGRATS Mike and Allan!

[...] elections in Bulgariamiha_ta: Yes, thank you. Maybe the confusion comes from the specific situation, here in my country – actually, WE DID this radical turn, 360, and after 20 years of post-communistic struggle, fighting for democracy, we ended up with our last goverment -the socialist party, who are nothing but well camouflaged communists. They ruined our economics and Bulgaria is corrupted like never before.
