Ellie Awards

Wired won for best design. I interviewed Scott Dadich two years ago when he was the creative director at Texas Monthly and I followed his work when he moved to Wired in the Fall of 2006. I realize it's not just him calling all the shots on the covers and redesigns--but its great to see a magazine that embraces innovation and crazy covers.

Vanity Fair won for Photo Portfolio for the 2007 Hollywood Portraits. The story was shot in 'film noir' style and actually carried a plot through the entire album of photographs--I believe Bruce Willis was the 'detective' main character.

And of course National Geographic won big with the most awards all night--including one for Photography.
