Graphic designers from Oakland County economic development, health and human services, human resources, and parks and recreation were honored recently with 10 American Inhouse Design Awards from Graphic Design USA, a New York City-based national design publication.
The 56th annual competition, which had more than 6,000 entries this year, was conceived decades ago to help ensure that inhouse creatives get the recognition they deserve from management, clients and the community for the value they bring to their organizations, products, brands and causes. The top 15 percent were recognized with a certificate of excellence.
“I’m exceedingly proud of our designers,” Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said. “Those of us who see their work every day know the passion and imagination they bring to their craft, which benefits the residents of Oakland County. It’s especially gratifying to know that their work is appreciated at a national level. I congratulate them all for this well-deserved recognition.”
The county honorees are:
