Designer Nancy Zear and photographer Susan McClellen of UI Health Care’s Creative Media Group (CMG) have won an Award of Excellence for “New Beginnings,” the UI Carver College of Medicine’s 2007 annual report.

“It gives us respectability,” said Connie Peterson, CMG’s director. “It’s nice to be judged by other designers, by a community of our peers.”

CMG is the College’s full-service design and printing organization, creating such materials as posters, brochures and newsletters for the University’s use.

The award was announced by Graphic Design USA, a top competition in publication design. This year more than 10,000 entries were submitted and only the top 15 percent were recognized.

“It’s important for ourselves and our energy,” Peterson said about the honor. “It also increases the visibility of our institution.”
