AIGA and Design Observer have announced the results of the 2017 "50 Books | 50 Covers" competition. The competition received nearly 800 book and cover designs from 40 countries and the jury, consisting of Rodrigo Corral, Carin Goldberg, Maricris Herrera, and Jessica Helfand (chair), recognized submissions that successfully demonstrate design excellence in book and cover design.
The books, which are exemplars of the craft and effect of good design, will become part of the AIGA collection at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University's Butler Library and at the Robert Haas Arts Library at Yale University.
