 <\/p>\n

Open to AUPresses member publishers worldwide, this year\u2019s competition attracted more than six hundred submissions, all published during 2018, in these categories:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAcademic [book] covers need to go beyond being a decorative accessory, to serve as a window onto the possible explorations within,\u201d observed juror Na Kim, a freelance illustrator and a senior designer at Farrar, Straus and Giroux. \u201cRich with information, they dare us to visualize the relationship between music and mathematics, for example, and to ponder the philosophical and cultural impacts of Beyonc\u00e9 in the modern age. They succeed at the laborious task of tackling difficult topics with nuance and demand our attention through bold colors and typography. The designers featured in this [show and] catalog took risks, and the results were sublime.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The show will enjoy a long life after its debut in Detroit: a traveling exhibit will be scheduled between September 2019 through June 2020. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
