Highly Edited by Nick Rauber
Life is about interaction with people, places, things, and experiences.

This year's recipient was Little Freddie King, and I was commissioned to design the award. It brings me great joy to receive commissions where I'm given full creative control by the client. I was told to look up Little Freddie King and research his music style and the history of how he became a legendary Blues musician. It didn't...
