History[]

Graphis was founded in 1944 by Walter Herdeg and Dr. Walter Amstutz in Zurich, Switzerland. The magazine was started with the September/October 1944 issue.[2] In 1986, B. Martin Pedersen purchased the company from Mr. Herdeg and later moved the headquarters to New York City. The Annuals were redefined and new books were added to the roster, including New Talent (student work), Typography, Branding, Logo & Letterhead, amongst others.

Awards[]

Graphis annually invites professionals across the design industry communities to enter. Amongst these submissions, Graphis selects the most compelling work of the year for Platinum, Gold, and Silver awards considerations, which are featured in hardcover Annuals and on the website. In addition, Honorable Mentions are also archived permanently on Graphis' website. Up to 500 submissions are published and presented on the site, supporting professionals, as well as young and emerging talent.
