Publication Design 39 Judging Photos, 2004
SPD 50 01.28.15
One of the highlights of each SPD Publication Design annual is the collection of judges photo portraits, taken by an ongoing series of talented photographers. For many years the judges were photographed with their judging groups, generally five to six people who were assigned a specific series of pages to review. For most of the 00s, however, judges were photographed individually, in a highly-orchestrated assembly line style. If the judges look tired and haggard, it's because the photos were usually taken at the end of a long day of judging, after looking at literally thousands of examples of publication design.For the 2004 judging, however, the Publication Design 39 co-chairs Carla Frank, Luke Hayman, and Mitch Shostak created a rock 'n' roll theme for the judges' photographs. The judging groups were photographed by stellar lensman Henry Leutwyler as rock bands, complete with guitars, microphones, and onstage theatrics. There was some serious thrashing and wailing as over 70 of the finest visual magazine makers did their best to recreate classic rock 'n' roll poses.
All photographs by Henry Leutwyler.
