Under the flag of 2018-20, we applied the power of evidence-based thinking and practicality of policies leading to the integration of science to action. “Science Signaling Service” captures the breadth and scope of the work of the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant, a program of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, through the lens of a profoundly altered world. It is not only a reflection of accomplishments in a biennial report but a look forward to advancing dialog and action. This report clearly and concisely illustrates UWSG’s nimble and thoughtful response to the needs of stakeholders, providing research, resources, and materials to Wisconsin coastal communities, as well as our efforts to seek out and serve new audiences.
From the Judges
Such a fun and creative design! The signal flag theme and visual identity are smart and unusual, and we agree with the nominators that the design captures the zeitgeist of this time period. Rough waters indeed! The graphic elements added inside flowing type are hard to pull off, but pull them off they did, creating something that's not just visually interesting but rewards the viewer upon their closer inspection. For not being able to commission photography, they have done a wonderful job of creating visual excitement on each layout; it's like a master class in how to get around COVID photography restrictions.
