Our very first design award winner! Chad Miller from Harbor Hospital has been our signature Baltimore: The Urban Forest Project designer since the beginning last year. His Think Green Hon banner design won the gold award under the Pro-Bono category for the Hermes Creative Awards. This award is presented by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals and Chad won the 2008 category. Everyone should give him a huge round of applause for this incredibly special award.
We are all looking forward to great things from you, Chad! CONGRATULATIONS!
We sat down with Jenn Tucker to talk about her banner and her recent assimilation to the Baltimore community. Click to check out her company, Cafeteria.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this week long blog blast! We at Tilt really enjoyed learning more about just a few of the designers and artists who participated! So remember, the exhibition opens April 11, 2008 and runs until June 27. The banners will be up throughout the city, and maps will be available at several locations throughout the city for you to follow!
