GOLD MEDAL: VINEX ATLAS
Hurrah! A 010 book has again won the gold medal in the international competition 'Schönste Bücher aus aller Welt´. The Vinex Atlas (designed by Joost Grootens) has been acknowledged as the world´s best designed book this year.
What the jury said: 'An outstanding example of successful information-based graphics. The detailed information is clearly structured, precisely collated and in its design concept shows sure instinct right down to the last detail. Excellent design of complex contents which makes the reader eager to find out more.'
