American Graphic Design Awards 2025
Bold punk-inspired design for the Gilda Gala captures humor and resilience in a vibrant celebration of community.
This year’s Gilda Gala celebrates laughter, courage, and community with bold style and a wink to Hollywood’s wild side. Hosted at the iconic Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood, a legendary landmark on the Sunset Strip known for its rock ’n’ roll history, the event merges glamour with grit. The invitation’s vibrant, punk-inspired artwork channels the fearless spirit of Gilda Radner, whose legacy of humor and resilience continues to inspire. The striking design, complete with oversized purple shades and electric pops of color, embodies the evening’s message: “Cancer is not a solo performance.” Like the Andaz itself, the gala promised a night of unforgettable energy, creativity, and community, where laughter remains the loudest act of defiance.
