Our most recent accolades and awards.

Mutiple Awards at the 2007 AIGA Design Show
U.S. Army Divisions in World War II won the Best of Show award at the 2007 AIGA Design Show. In addition, Conquest of Everest was a winner in the Rest of Show category. From AIGA: "Extensive raw research was collected from multiple sources and transformed into a comprehensive, one-of-a-kind visual 'snapshot' of the history of each US Army division which fought in World War II. It was successful because it communicates history in a way unlike anything else."

Grafik, Journal of the Best in International Graphic Design
HistoryShots is featured in the May 2006 issue of Grafik magazine, a London based, graphic design magazine. From the introduction of the six-page special report article: "HistoryShots is dedicated 'to providing context to large, complex subjects by creating graphics with intense content and beautiful designs.' These wouldn't be footnotes in history books -- they would be gorgeous enough so that people would buy them and put them on their walls."

Gallery of Data Visualization
HistoryShots is cited in Michael Friendly's best of Visual Explanation section in his Gallery of Data Visualization. From the gallery: "Telling stories of history in words provides for rich detail, analysis, and subtlety, but the linear form of text does not provide for overview, multiple layers or zoomable levels of detail -- abstraction that might be possible in a visual representation. These images are from one of a series of beautifully designed, poster-size charts prepared by Larry Gormley and Bill Younker of HistoryShots."
