0 < JUDGES ' REPORT

The 51st Annual Book Design Awards have set new records in the number of entries and categories and presented the judges with a wonderful selection of titles and diverse design styles.

In February 2003 a panel of six general judges and six specialist judges set about the interesting and challenging task of judging the 530 entries in the 51st awards to select the best-designed books published in Australia in 2002 across 23 ca tegories.

The new categories added to this year's awards were - Best Designed Exhibition Catalogue or Book, Best Designed Non­ fiction (text) and Best Designed Non-fiction (illustrated). The Best Designed Exhibition Catalogue or Book was included as a distinct category as many of these books have struggled to find a niche in existing categories and because of the growth in publishing in this sector. To cope with the overwhelming number of entries in the non -fiction section, and the difficulty of comparing illustrated with non-illustrated books, the two new non-fiction categories emerged.

In selecting titles, the judges considered how well the designer(s) satisfied their brief; they looked for imagination, originality, skill and flair; creativity in overcoming constraints inherent in the title and brief; and how legibility, format and organisation of text and illustration suited the functional requirements of the reader.

Despite many excellent and well-executed designs, there was a general feeling among the judges that boundaries weren't being pushed and that a significant number of entries followed 'tried and tested' styles. The judges pondered whether this might be due to the current climate for book sales with sales and marketing departments wanting to play safe rather than risk new directions. The judges also observed that there was a reliance on stock photography to create the look, feel or atmosphere of a book rather than using colour, type, concept, space, composition to find new and original solutions.

The judges recognise the many and varied challenges and constraints faced by designers, particularly time pressures , but they would like to encourage designers to challenge the boundaries and show publishing clients that a new approach can attract attention and actually generate sales.

The judges would like to thank Joyce Thorpe Nicholson for allowing us the honour of naming the hall of fame after her. Joyce has been a dedicated supporter of Australian Book Design for more than 20 years and it is with pleasure that we announce the inaugural Joyce Thorpe Nicholson Design Hall of Fame.

Congratulations and thanks to the designers and publishers for the many entries in this year's awards - the very finest of which are featured as finalists in this catalogue. JUDGES

This Award IS given periodically to a designer who has made a significant contribution to the standards and quality of Australian book des1gn. The designer IS nom1nated by someone from within the industry and previous recipients have been Patrick Coyle, Alec Bolton, Arthur Stokes and Harry Williamson. The winner of this year's Hall of Fame Award is George Dale, nominated by Leonie Stott, Design Manager, Penguin Books Australia and supported by author Paul Jennings and Penguin Publishing Director, Robert Sessions.

George Dale was appointed as Penguin's first in-house designer in 1974, having carried out several freelance commissions prior to that date whilst he was still teaching art and design at Preston Institute of Technology in .

Since that time George has designed many hundreds of hardback and paperback titles (both text and covers) for Penguin, many of which have been successful in design awards, as well as commercially. (A conservative estimate of the total number of books George has designed over his long career at Penguin puts it at well over 20001)

Whilst George has successfully solved many design challenges (among them, the first ever hardback books for Penguin, a series of illustrated social studies texts for Australian schools, picture books by Ron Brooks, Keith McEwan, Craig Smith and Terry Denton) perhaps his most valuable collaborations have been with the bestselling children's author, Paul Jennings, and with one of Australia's 'national treasures', Michael Leunig.

With Paul Jennings, George has pushed some of the boundaries, both in text and cover designs. Together they have experimented with coloured illustrations in novels, wi th cut-outs and other finishes on covers, and with graphic novels, illustrated diaries and part works.

Where Michael Leunig is concerned, it is no exaggeration to say that a number of Michael's most successful books would almost certainly not have happened at all without George's quiet determination and ski lful reading of the artistic mind. He has produced many unusual and hugely successful books with artists such as Michael Leunig, Bruce Petty, Peter Nicholson and John Spooner.

For many years George was in charge of the design studio at Penguin. In this role he was the mentor of many ta lented designers who went on to become widely recognised. He has had a significant effect on the way in which book design is carried out in Australia , as a teacher, as a judge, and as an art director. He now enjoys a role at Penguin which gives him the freedom to work on projects for which his design skills are especially suited . Rebels and Precursors Richard Haese

THE AUSTRALIAN BOOK CONNECTION BEST DESIGNED BOOK OF THE YEAR judges' comments The whole design - from the particularly lush hot pink Thai fabric cover to the beautiful internals - elevates this book from a cookbook to an object of desire. A clear winner- simple yet extravagant, traditional yet contemporary, Thai Food's design reflects both the simplicity and grandness of its title. Thai Food shows great attention to detail from the multi-coloured tail ribbons to the exquisite photographs and vibrant colours used . In judging this year's overall winner, Thai food stood out from the crowd. T!t ai Food Winner

The selection and the cropping of the suburban-industrial image on Hot Iron Corrugated Sky gives the book a gritty and contemporary feel. John Bell commands attention with the piercing gaze of the subject used to great effect with the elegant simplicity of the typography. The cover of Contagion powerfully conveys its subject in an imaginative and evocative way .

The judges felt the strongest designs allowed the featured artwork to be the dominant visual element. The design of A Vision Splendid is modest in format but beautifully executed. Appropriate to its subject matter, attention has been paid to every detail- from the subtle colours to the delicate tracing paper leading in to the title page. The braveness and originality shown in the design of The Office of Utopic Procedures, through clever typography and stock choice, made it standout despite being a humble mono! The judges were impressed by Encounter's high production values and the way the design made the works featured come alive on the page.

The design of Perfect Match follows this trend, taking an interesting approach to the genre. The combination of the cover typography and image is indeed a 'perfect match'! The hip and groovy designs of The Basic Eight and Watch Your Mouth demonstrate a clever new way of packaging commercial fiction that holds strong appeal for the twenty-something, fashion-conscious target market. The judges were impressed by the clever use of type and spot varnish. Upside Down, Inside Out unashamedly embraces its commercial market. JODI PICOULT

The judges would like to broaden this category by encouraging entries by designers of children's fantasy or science-fiction. The decision to award only a winning entry reflected the limited range and number of titles entered. The designer of Old Ridley has presented the wonderful illustrations to great effect, enhanced by the clever use of typography. ()fd Ridle_ 1· Winner

The layout is clear and accessible and at the same time, involving and lively for students- a highly appropriate design for the content and level. The World Heritage in Australia series is a high-quality production featuring a beautiful series of cover designs with colour schemes that mirror the content. The selection and placement of photographic images in the internals enhances the learning experience and the text design works to support the information. The designers of the Picture Australia 's Past series have ensured that the historical photographs featured on each page appropriately capture the reader's attention. The internal layout is clear and consistent for children to follow with visual clues such as dates treated consistently to assist learning.

The very user-friendly design of Financial Management (3rd edition) demonstrates an outstanding use of one-colour design and effective use of white space. Management (3rd edition) has a sophisticated cover design and shows great restraint in the selection of the colour palette for the internals.

The winn ing and highly commended entries were selected because they could be clearly identified as a series. Clever design features were used to define a coherent look and allow enough scope for variation to make each title unique. The Dulcie and Dud series design was a standout.

With its sophisticated and original design and strong crossover appeal from young adult to adult markets, The Diviner's Son emerged as a clear winner. The bold cover design of The Song of an Innocent Bystander would also appeal to a broad market and the clever use of spot varnish on the cover conveys a strong sense of the genre. Despite an extremely tight budget and timeframe, the designer/s of Too Flash have combined unusual typography, picture treatment and cover colours to create a book that feels new and different, successfully challenging the formula for this genre. The designers have dared to go out on a limb, and the gamble has clearly paid off. Winner 'l'!t e JJiuiner's Son

Cover Design Wayne Hams - Monkeyfish Internal Destgn Wayne Harris- Monkeyftsh Cover Illustrator Wayne Harris Publisher Allen & Unwin Printer McPherson's Printing Group THE TIEN WAH PRESS BEST DESIGNED CHILDREN'S NON-FICTION BOOK judges' comments The challenge of designing books in this category lies in using good design principles to make page designs enticing and lively for children while avoiding the tendency towards overly busy and fussy layouts that compete with the text. The quirky and engaging cover of 1 DO Australian Poems for Children elicited a strong response from the judges and was seen as a great way to lure kids (or their parents!) to poetry. The simplicity and restraint shown in the internal design is perfect for the subject matter. Could a Tyrannosaurus Play Table Tennis ? gave existing material a fresh new treatment while managing to be very informative, easy to follow and fun at the same time. 100 Australian Poems for C!ti!drell Winner
