New Digital Categories for Pub 46

New Digital Categories for Pub 46

For the 2011 competition, we expanded the digital categories to account for the ever evolving world of digital and include new platforms like the iPad. This year we have divided digital into four main groups. The first group includes Typography, Illustration, Photography, Video and more. But this work is platform agnostic. After all, great illustration is great on any device. 

Next we have groups for Online, Smartphone and Tablet as this groups has awards that are more specific to their platform. Site, Smartphone and Table "of the year" awards also have new categories to include aesthetics vs. functionality and those that are and are not associated with a print brand.

The full list of categories is after the jump, and if you have any questions, please leave us a comment here, or shoot us an email.
