Judges’ Comments Kalee Jackson’s book designs display restraint and a poetic lightness of touch. In whichever direction she applies herself it is always appropriate, showing a deft understanding of typography and a sensitivity to the imagery and context. Jackson’s is intelligent design and the small cross-section of publication work on display left the judges all wanting to see more.
