Cognella Textbook Covers Win Big with GDUSA

Three Cognella textbook covers receive 2018 GDUSA Inhouse Design Awards

San Diego, CA – June 13, 2018 – For the fourth consecutive year, Cognella textbook cover designs have received Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) American Inhouse Design Awards. This year, three Cognella covers have been recognized by the prestigious design organization for their originality and aesthetic appeal.

For more than 50 years, GDUSA has sponsored exhibitions that feature and recognize the creativity, ingenuity, and skill of premier graphic designers. The GDUSA American Inhouse Design Awards highlight the extraordinary work of in-house graphic designers and graphic design departments in companies, organizations, and institutions across the nation. While GDUSA receives thousands of submissions for the awards each year, only about 15% receive honors.

The three award-winning Cognella book covers, designed by Jess Estrella and Miguel Macias, reflect the quality and passion Cognella strives to deliver to academic partners each and every day.
