Judges’ Comments: Getting lost in the pages of a book is taken illustratively with Annual 2. Bright colours and quirky illustration show a sense of delight and shout FUN (just take a look at those end pages!) The designer’s job in this miscellany of content is to shift and change from one story to the next. This is done with skill and competence.
