A 90-page document created for Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture and Urban Studies bi-annual faculty symposium has been awarded a silver Magnum Opus award.

This international graphic design award, bestowed by Publications Management, is the leading awards program dedicated exclusively to custom publishing.

The document features a selection of College of Architecture and Urban Studies faculty and synopses of the research each discussed during the symposium. The winning design was created by Heather Riley Chadwick, of Blacksburg, public relations manager for the college. Chadwick received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in communication at Virginia Tech.

“It’s quality custom publications like yours that help elevate our business and underscore the value of custom magazines, newsletters, and collateral as essential components of a strong marketing mix,” said Beth Tomkiw, Publications Management editor.
