365 is the American Institute of Graphic Art's annual presentation of the best in American design, featuring cutting-edge projects selected by a jury of preeminent designers and design critics from a year of design activity in the U.S. This year's awards are divided into a suite of 13 narrowly focused, independently judged competitions, including typographic design, illustration, editorial design, environmental graphic design, design for film and television, experience design, brand and identity systems design, and--the competition dearest to our own hearts--book design: 50 books/50 covers. Conceived by AIGA in conjunction with award-winning Houston-based Rigsby Design, who've put together a charming, refreshingly straightforward, McSweeney-esque package, this year's version of 365 includes 13 short essays by top design critics that contextualize the ever changing landscape of contemporary graphic design. In addition, AIGA's 2002 medalists, Robert Brownjohn and Christopher Pullman, are profiled in insightful biographical essays and retrospective portfolios. All artwork is reproduced in color and accompanied by detailed captions listing the designers, illustrators, photographers, typographers, printers, and others involved in the creation and production of the year's notable designs. Jurors' comments and statements about the design process help to further elucidate the featured projects.

Who were the designers, illustrators, photographers, typographers, and printers involved in this year's most notable designs?
