The International Yearbook Brands & Communication Design 2024/2025 will be available from 18 November 2024 in online bookshops, selected bookshops, and at the Red Dot Design Museum Essen shop.
Since 1995, award-winning projects from the globally renowned competition have been eternalised in book form as a manifestation of a design memory. This will be the 30th edition of Red Dots Yearbook for Communication Design.
The first edition of the yearbook was published in 1995 under the title ‘Jahrbuch Kommunikations-Design,’ or in English: ‘Yearbook Communication Design.’ ‘I am pleased that this year’s competition is additionally documented in the present yearbook. It is the first time that such an extensive documentation appears, reflecting trends in various areas of communication design,’ wrote the Professor Dr. Peter Zec, founder and CEO of the Red Dot Design Award, in his foreword to the 1995 edition.
Since then, all award-winning projects of the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design; until 2002 known as the ‘Deutscher Preis für Kommunikationsdesign’ or in english ‘German Prize for Communication Design;’ have been documented annually in this now two-volume book.
The yearbooks also include exclusive background information on the award-winning designers, agencies, and companies in the form of essays, interviews, and short texts. The 2024/2025 edition is no exception.
‘It is something like the manifestation of a design memory,’ noted Zec. ‘With these now 30 editions, one can trace the historical transformation of design. This retrospective also shows that in free societies, design always makes an important contribution to maintaining the quality of life. It is rewarding, and personally for me an important part of my life, to stand up for the value of creativity and to make the societal significance of the industry visible.’
