The annual SPD Student Design Competition recognizes exceptional design by students and honors them with various awards and cash prizes. Entries are created exclusively for the competition in one of 5 supplied categories and are judged by some of the most distinguished names in publication design (see this year's jury below).
Established in 1995, the competition honors the life and work of Bruce W. Honeycutt, who died January 12, 1994 at the very young age of 40. During his career, he served as the Art Director of Details and Spy magazines, as well as on the staffs of Vanity FairGQ. His work has been recognized by SPD, AIGA, the Art Directors Club of New York, and by magazines such as Print, Advertising Age, and Adweek. He also taught publication design at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
As always, this year's jury consisted of some of the best publication designers out there. To them, we extend a huge thanks:
Kristin Fitzpatrick Design Director, Marie Claire
Chris Hercik Design Director, Sports Illustrated
Joe Hutchinson Art Director, Rolling Stone
Tim Leong Design Director, Complex
Michael McCormick Design Director, Philadelphia Magazine
And thanks to everyone who entered!
