MFA Alumnus Stefanie Cobb has received a Silver National ADDY Award for Packaging design in her thesis work “Ex Libris: Reimagining the Literary Experience through Artifactual Storytelling and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.” ​Stefanie created and curated objects inspired by the classic novel Fahrenheit 451 presenting to reader’s a new way of interacting with stories through design in order to promote understanding and meaning making during the reading experience.

The American Advertising Awards is the nation’s largest and most regarded awards program in the advertising industry. The annual competition is a three-tier system, attracting almost 35,000 entries at the local level every year. From there, the local ADDY winners move on to compete with the winners within their district. The winners from these 15 districts are then placed into the third tier, the national competition for the American Advertising Awards. The awards were presented to 56 national student winners this year from universities across the U.S.
