See the most effective current work in communication design, as chosen by a distinguished jury of design peers from Target, Autodesk, Fjord and more. The selections from this traveling exhibition began at the AIGA National Design Center in New York and ultimately will become part of the design archives of AIGA and the Denver Art Museum.
