Design for Democracy: Ballot + Election Design has received a GOLD IDEA award from BusinessWeek and IDSA. This book, written and designed at Studio/lab, shares the stories and results of a comprehensive design reform initiative. Our work in elections began when the now infamous “butterfly ballot” became the subject of media attention during the hotly contested presidential election of 2000, and now serves as the basis for national guidelines endorsed by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. "A notable and noble achievement, apply- ing the craft of graphic design in service of the public interest." —Edward Tufte |

Studio/lab is honored to be awarded by the Society for Environmental Graphic Design for our work with Krueck + Sexton Architects on the new Spertus Institute in Chicago. "…The allure of this project kept speaking to us at a deeper soul level. The integration and interplay of light and shadow on glass transcends you from the entrance, to the lobby, and the vertical circulation architecture. The beauty in the typography and the elegant simplicity are truly enchanting. Thank you for your inspiration… it has left a mark." —SEGD Awards Jury |
