As Tiffany Meyers observes in her overview of the 100 winners, one can’t peg 2009 as the year of any specific color or typographic convention. But the winning projects are reflective of today’s increasingly diverse design discipline. In fact, one has to wonder if there is any longer such a thing as a design discipline—in light of today’s fast-changing and even amorphous practice, the word discipline seems a little out of place.

57 WERNER DESIGN WERKS
“With a name like Shout, it seemed too obvious to have loud type, so we decided to make it a little more refined. I wouldn’t say it’s what you’d call quiet; it may be bold, but it’s stylish,” says Sarah Nelson Forss of Werner Design Werks (WDW), speaking about the identity work for Shout Radio created by this St. Paul, Minn., design firm.

Mark and Joe, the two guys who make up Shout Radio, have distinctly different personalities. To get that point across, the designers created caricatures of the two as amiable, old-time radio vacuum tubes. WDW’s approach to the design of Shout’s identity package is equally lighthearted. WDW art director Sharon Werner explains, “The business cards are designed so that each [partner] has both cards … Mark has cards for himself as well as for Joe. That way he can hand out one double card that covers them both, or just his own. The perforated card sets are bound on the left for one of them, on the right for the other, so that each person’s cards are always on the outside and the easiest to tear off.” by Sheree Clark
