Entries from around the world set new creativity and quality standards for digital enhancement applications
Scodix today announced the winners of the company's annual Scodix Design Awards competition. With submissions from users worldwide, Scodix enlisted the keen eyes and technological understanding of a team of judges in perusing each entry on the floor of the Graph Expo 2015 show, held in early October in Chicago. The distinguished panel of judges rated submissions for design quality, production complexity, and overall appearance.
"English mathematician Karl Pearson once said, 'It is the old experience that a rude instrument in the hand of a master craftsman will achieve more than the finest tool wielded by the uninspired journeyman.' Our annual awards exemplifies what happens when master craftsmen are then granted access to the finest tools. It's rewarding to see Scodix solution implemented by production professionals with such applied creative wizardry, especially when you realize the impact it's having on their clients' success worldwide," notes Scodix CEO Roy Porat.
And the winners are...
