Best of the Year

Best Publications & Newsletters of 2021

The publications and newsletters that won a GDUSA award in 2021, each with the firm and the designers credited.

61 award-winning projects

A member magazine is the one piece an association ships on a schedule, and for many organizations it is the main reason the dues get paid. The designer builds a grid and a hierarchy that an editorial team will stress every issue, then sets a cover formula that has to stay fresh for years. The winners here are readable on page one and recognizable on issue fifty. The American Bar Association's design group has won 63 times with publications no other team in the category approaches, and the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV took a full page for its summer 2025 magazine. The best publication designers in the awards are on this page. Open any issue to page through it and learn what makes it hold up.
