Recycling Today garners national award

Recycling Today, August, 2004

The Recycling Today Media Group and its staff have been honored with a national magazine award for the graphic re-design that took place in early 2003.

At its national convention and awards ceremony, which took place in Philadelphia in late June, the American Society of Business Press Editors (ASBPE) presented Recycling Today with a bronze award for its re-design.

Recycling Today art director Karen Angus, who lead the re-design, accepted the award.

The re-design's notable features included a new logo; a cleaner look achieved by boxing in editorial content; new fonts used throughout the magazine; and a contents page with additional photos and a reader-friendly layout.

Recycling Today also received two regional ASBPE awards for the publication's re-design and for the computer-generated illustration on the cover of the March 2003 issue, which also won second place in the Cleveland Press Club's Ohio Excellence in Journalism Awards.
