This year’s Lohmann Prizes were chosen last Friday. The Prizes, which celebrate excellence in undergraduate printing and design, were awarded to eight students. All of the judges noted that this year’s submission pool was particularly strong. We had a hard time choosing the winners!
Cindy Hwang BK ‘15 was awarded first prize in the digital category for her two booklets “Politics and the English Language” and “The Simplification of the Chinese Script,” seen below. We appreciated her care in selection of materials, attention to typographic detail, and thoughtful fit of form and content.

First prize in the letterpress category was awarded to Annie Wang BK ‘13 for her artist’s book “Miss Behavior.” The innovative binding and multi-directional reading format enhanced the content of the book, which explored attitudes toward women throughout time.
Honorable mentions were awarded to Austin Lan TC ‘13 for her posters promoting Yale’s mental health services; Greta Parnes DC ‘14 for her letterpress carousel book featuring an excerpt from The Waves by Virginia Woolf; Jacqi Lee MC ‘14 for her digital body of work, which included the Fall 2012 issue of the Yale Literary Magazine and her book “Giorgio Morandi: Meticulously Composed”; and Andrew Sotiriou SY ‘13, Paul Doyle BK ‘13, and Isabella Huffington DC ‘14 for their design of the program for Cinderella: The Light of God.
