We take great pride when those media organizations that we have had the honor to work with continue to evolve and do the type of work that demands attention and awards.
So, as the 13th WAN-IFRA Asia awards are handed out, we look at those in the Garcia Media stable of clients, past and present, who have been rewarded for their extraordinary efforts.
The awards range from page design, to best overall in their circulation categories to infographics. But the spirit of the team is the same: innovation, constant improvement and, as Carl Jones, design director of the South China Morning Post, put it to me:
“It’s possible to sustain quality design through constant evolution.”
