Design USA, a national magazine for design professionals,
has honored Destination Graphix with an
American Inhouse Design Award for outstanding publication
design of the 2007-2008 Greater Leander Chamber of Commerce Community

Graphic
Design USA is one of the leading monthly news and information
magazines for and about the professional design community, including
graphic design firms, corporate and publishing inhouse departments,
advertising agencies, institutions and non-profits, and other
creative businesses and organizations. Established in 1963,
Graphic Design USA has been sponsoring design competitions
for four decades.
About
this year’s competition, Graphic Design USA publisher
Gordon Kaye says “There were a remarkable 5,000
plus entries in this year’s program from all over the country.
Destination Graphix is one of the top 10 percent
to be awarded with a Certificate of Excellence.”
Upon
hearing news of the award, president of the Greater Leander
Chamber Mary Bradshaw said, “I knew it was
a winner when Gabrielle pitched the concept of
a one-of-a-kind coffee-table-style magazine. Destination
Graphix never disappoints us with the creativity or quality
of their work.”
“This
award means a lot and I am honored to be selected as a winner
by the editors of Graphic Design USA,”
says publisher Gabrielle Melisende. “This
directory,” she continues, “is an excellent
example of Destination Graphix’ capabilities
in design, marketing and publishing.”
In
addition to the design award, Melisende’s
marketing campaign for the directory earned Destination
Graphix international recognition when it was selected
as a Finalist for Marketing Campaign of the Year in the
2007 Stevie Awards™ for Women in Business.
The Stevies, according to the New York Post, are “the business
world’s own Oscar Awards.”
