Finalists announced for newspaper awards
The finalists for the Newspaper Association of South Africa's annual Frewin, McCall and Joel Mervis awards have been announced. The awards recognise newspaper excellence in advertising, printing and production, layout and typography as well as the balance between the use of pictures and graphics. Winners will be announced at the Mondi Shanduka Awards ceremony at Soccer City in Johannesburg on 5 May 2010.
Judges
The panel of judges comprised Clive Loxton, creative faculty head of the AAA School of Advertising; Logan Naidu, learnerships and apprenticeships specialist at Mappp-seta; Marilyn du Toit, lecturer in graphic design at the AAA School of Advertising; and Linda Rademan, lecturer in art direction at the AAA School of Advertising.
Loxton, as convenor of the judges, said, “Considering this was a year of economic recession, it is amazing how little effect this had on the visual aspects of your craft. One would have expected more caution.”
