Five Ashford University students and alumni won “Addy Awards” on Thursday, Feb. 12, for their advertising and marketing works during the Quad Cities Advertising Federation’s Addy Awards Show 2009.
“CSI: Creative Scene Investigators” was the theme of this year’s Addy Awards and the ceremony, held at the Putnam Museum/IMAX Theatre in Davenport, Iowa, honored works created throughout 2008. The competition was judged by local professional graphic artists.
“Two of our students were double winners and one of our sophomore students won the top prize, a gold Addy,” said Dr. Charlie Minnick, Dean of Ashford’s College of Business and Professional Studies. “Ashford faculty, students and their parents were there to honor the award recipients and to celebrate this great achievement. We congratulate the student award winners, as well as our computer graphics and art faculty who spend so much time mentoring and guiding our students on a daily basis. This is a wonderful accomplishment.”
Kelsay McCausland of Camanche, IA, was awarded a Gold Addy for her Marilyn Monroe illustration and a Silver Addy for her Time Magazine cover.
Mitchell Seifert of DeWitt, IA, received a Silver Addy for his online portfolio and a Bronze Addy for his design logo.
In the animation category, a Silver Addy went to Alex Riggen of Morrison, IL; Dan Park of Geneseo, IL, and Adrienne Breen of Mingo, IA for their Nerf Commercial. Riggen was the modeler and in charge of sound effects, Park was responsible for texture and special effects, and Breen created the animation.
