Here’s some exciting news hot off the printing press.

On Saturday night (August 9), the 2008 PiCA Awards for Printing and Graphic Design were held. Judged to a high standard by the best in the business, these awards are always highly prized here at Clemenger.

To find out how we went, here’s a copy of an internal email distributed by our Design Director, Phillip “Sunny” Drury…

“Hi all.

I’m sure the exciting news from Saturday night has filtered through the building that we had our most successful PiCA awards for a long time!

We received 7 gold and 6 silver certificates. The icing on the cake was winning the big one – the Platinum PiCA for overall outstanding design entry with a stunning piece of 3D signage work from Nat.

Not to mention the best dressed award going to Lindsey for her impersonation of an Iced Vo Vo. And of course, special mention must also go to “Crusty” Dean Smith for his spectacular clown costume.

I believe photographic evidence is in existence…Joseph and Matt, there is no escape.
