UNC Hussman students win 27 awards from Society for News Design

Students from the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media took home 27 awards — the biggest haul of awards from any one university — from the Society for News Design’s student contest. This is the sixth consecutive year that UNC Hussman students have won the most awards in the annual student design competition.

“Every year, I have been incredibly proud of our students as they have consistently led the way in multiple categories of design, multimedia and infographics,” said Associate Professor Terence Oliver. “This says a lot about our students, faculty and goals of high achievement here at the School of Media and Journalism.”

The school won first, second and third place in both the digital storytelling and infographics categories, and won at least first place in animated infographic, iPad magazine, magazine spread, special section and standalone media.

“When designing the Prologue iPad Magazine, I wanted the team to focus on clean, usable layouts that optimized the user’s experience,” said Lisa Dzera, the Prologue iPad design director. “We worked hard to ensure that every feature and interaction had a specific purpose designed to make the app easy and enjoyable to navigate.”
