Silver Award!

Written By John Slemp

We are happy to announce that "Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art" has won an Indigo Design Award, in the Book Design category.

The Indigo Design Awards is an international competition that exists to encourage and promote creativity in all fields around the world. The work is judged by a hand-selected jury based on their contributions in the design community at large and exceptional projects are selected based on their quality, uncommon artistry, inspired composition, layout, and adherence to objective goals of the project. The annual competition awards ceremony is held in the world's most fascinating cities—this year the ceremony will be held in Tbilisi, Georgia, on May 25th.

Congrats to the team: Daren Guillory-graphic design, Lee Anne Patterson-marketing, John Mollison-illustration, Laura McLaws Helms-fashion and cultural impact, Jeff Shrader-collecting, Rachel Waters-conservation, Jill Beckett-editor.
