Second Win of Red Dot Award Confirms Corbis CROP Photo Catalog Series to be Industry's Best Tool for Inspiration

The Corbis CROP photo catalog series, designed by world-famous designer Carlos Segura, has been awarded the “red dot award: best of the best” in Communication Design for the latest catalogs, entitled CROP5 and CACP Assigmment. Corbis, a leading provider of image licensing, assignment, and rights services, has established the large-format CROP catalog as an artistic tool that serves to excite creativity and inspiration. The series was awarded “best of the best” and red dot: grand prix in 2004.
“It is a pleasure to have such creative freedom provided by Corbis,” explains Carlos Segura. “Our partnership enables my team to produce work that contributes to strengthening Corbis’ reputation in the creative environment. The red dot award is the best recognition for our joint work and represents a highlight among the goals we have set ourselves.”
CROP was conceived to dramatically demonstrate the evolution of the catalog from a book containing thousands of images to a tool that served to inspire creative thinking. Since its inception, the series has received worldwide acknowledgement from the creative industry, including the 2005 HOW International Design Annual, 2004 Communications Arts Design Annual, AIGA 365, and the Tokyo Type Directors Club. The catalog series, printed in a limited edition of 30,000 with specially designed packaging, incorporates timeless and inspirational selections from Corbis´extensive news, creative, celebrity, historical, and art collections. It is particularly well-regarded for its unusually broad array of papers and printing techniques, its range of content themes, and its exceptional pictures – all designed to visually inspire conceptual creativity.
zefa’s portfolio book, ‘Connected,’ has also won a red dot for communication design, further demonstrating that these catalog alternatives have become desirable design items in their own right. zefa was acquired by Corbis in January 2005.
A digital version of the CROP series is available on the Internet at https://pro.corbis.com/creative/services/catalogs. Copies of the Corbis CROP and zefa ‘Connected’ catalogs are available upon request.
