ADC 90th Anniversary Design Project

16th August, 2010

The Art Directors Club announced the latest group of inductees into the prestigious ADC Hall of Fame.

The honorees, representing advertising, design, typography, illustration, photography and education, will be inducted at a creative black-tie benefit dinner on November 4, 2010, at the ADC Gallery in New York, with proceeds going toward ADC scholarship programs.

ADC established the ADC Hall of Fame in 1971 as a cross-disciplinary acknowledgement of the most renowned professionals in visual arts and communications.

Past inductees represent a diverse group of luminaries in those fields, including Richard Avedon, Saul Bass, Leo Burnett, Jay Chiat, Walt Disney, Charles and Ray Eames, Milton Glaser, Annie Leibovitz, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Paul Rand, Andy Warhol and others.

"ADC Hall of Fame pays lasting tribute to those whose careers have profoundly influenced the direction of their fields," said Doug Jaeger, president, ADC.

"This recognition honors an ongoing lifetime of achievement that exemplifies the highest standards of creative excellence and leads the industry forward.

We're proud to capture the history of our industry in the accomplishments of these laureates."

To celebrate its 90th anniversary, the Art Directors Club (ADC) have invited top creatives to give their own spin on the ADC Cube image. The redesigned Cube will be featured on the ADC 90th Annual Awards call-for-entries and at an exhibition at the ADC Gallery.

The project isn't open to everyone, thought. It's exclusive to post-2000 winners of the ADC Cube award-the "best and brightest in international creative and design", according to ADC. These participants, which number about 600, will be asked to bring their own interpretation of ADC's mission to redesign the Cube.

Five submissions will be selected for use in the upcoming awards, and a further 90 will be reproduced at the exhibition slated for late September.

"Our 90th anniversary is a milestone for a creative organization, and we'll spend the next year bringing people together and celebrating in ways that showcase the talent of our community," said Doug Jaeger, ADC president.

Any winners of an ADC Cube award since 2000 who has not yet received an invitation to participate can contact the ADC Awards team at info@adcawards.org.
