The new set of admission publications we created for the Winsor School in Boston won national gold from the 2008 Circle of Excellence Awards sponsored by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). The materials also won gold in the CASE Northeast District publications competition. Featuring photography by Margaret Lampert and text by Winsor’s Joe Broughton, the publications take a lively storytelling approach to conveying the personal and hands-on nature of the school’s learning environment.

Here’s a quote from one judge: “Finally, someone who gets it! People look at photos before they read. Great headlines mean you don’t have to read all the text.” And another: “The two viewbooks, one for parents and one for students, are both a scanner’s delight. The photos are engaging, active, and truly indicative of the primary messages the school was trying to convey. But, if the scanner takes a moment to read, the writing is exceptional.”
