Finalist
Designer: Anna Egan-Reid, Mary Egan Publishing
Title: Bright Ideas for Young Minds
Publisher: Mary Egan Publishing
Format: 280 x 218mm, 184pp, plus ends plus cover. Hardback, section sewn with head and tail bands. Cover printed on 128gsm paper over 2mm board plus matt lamination and spot UV. Internals printed on 140gsm Golden Sun Woodfree paper stock.
Typography: Display typeface is Sunshine Daisies Fill One, the body type is Charter and supporting typeface is Texta
Judges’ Comments: The muted colour palette, shying from obvious vibrant primary colour, somehow works. Layouts are brought to life by some strong art direction on photography, which the designer uses to good effect. Typography balances fun for kids to engage with and easy step by step learning outcomes. Really user friendly, practical and engaging.
