LOWEN WINS SECOND CONSECUTIVE "BEST IN SHOW" AWARD AT INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION
ATLANTA – Lowen Color Graphics,
a division of Lowen Corporation based in Hutchinson,
KS, has been honored by the Digital Printing & Imaging Association
(DPI) with the highest possible award at the international Andre Schellenberg
Digital Art Competition.
Representing the best work produced in the digital printing,
imaging and graphics industry, winners of this year's Andre Schellenberg
Gallery of Digital Art Competition were selected at DPI's ninth Annual
Conference & Exhibits held April 4-7 at AmericasMart in Atlanta,
Georgia.
Lowen
Color Graphics won "Best In Show" for the second consecutive
year for their "Peel Away" display showing two Corona Beer bottles
ripping through the side of a truck. The display was created with digitally
printed images mounted to layered foam board and placed behind a sheet
of aluminum that had been cut and "peeled" back to reveal the printed
images.
"We originally produced this design as a one-dimensional
image that was digitally printed and applied to the sides of Corona
delivery trucks," said Darren Keller, Marketing Manager. "We wanted
to show our variety of capabilities with digital printing, mounting,
cutting and finishing, so we brought the one-dimensional image to life
in three dimensions, using aluminum and literally peeling it back as
if the bottles of Corona had ripped through it. We were absolutely thrilled
when our industry peers selected our entry for "Best In Show" for
the second year in a row!"
Named in honor of one of DPI's founders, the Schellenberg
Gallery is the graphic highlight of the Digital Printing & Imaging
Association's Annual Conference & Exhibit. Entries reflected submissions
in categories for digital photo print; electrostatic; ink jet; transfer;
textile and other specialized media; unique applications; and fine art
graphics. This year's conference was attended by over 800 people representing
35 countries.
