Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Tarrant County College - Trinity River Entry Title: Roots & Reflections Entry Credit: Alejandro Rivera, Mary Maturo, Samantha Goldblatt, Lisbeth Villalpando Judge Comment: Wonderful combination of visuals with text. Great use of space and giving those art pieces as large of a canvas as possible. Lovely organization.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Northeast Texas Commmunity College Entry Title: Lagniappe 2023 Entry Credit: Liliana Torreblanca , Lagniappe Staff Judge Comment: Every page felt like a new jjournal or magazine. Loved the ceramics gallery and artist highlights.The use of spreads was especially nice.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Dallas College - Brookhaven Entry Title: The Windmill Vol. 8 Entry Credit: Tabitha N. Tudor, The Windmill Staff Judge Comment: Lovely color here. In some places art overpowers the written word, making it seem secondary rather than a partnership. And a bit of clutter in some layouts.
Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: UT-Rio Grande Valley Entry Title: Gallery 2023 Entry Credit: Gallery Staff Judge Comment: Lovely color here. Wish the art was given more space/size. Reversals are harder on the eyes and black on a darker background color is also difficult to read. Think about access.
