So the one year I clean up and snag a chunk of awards from the College Media Advisors’ annual design competition, Best of Collegiate Design, they stop publishing the book of winners.
But of course.
After 16 years of printing this damn publication, they stop when I make it. Supposedly, instead of the book they normally give away, all the winners receive a certificate. How cute.
However, they did make a slideshow that showcases all the winners. And that’s OK, because they only reason I ever liked the book was to see what other colleges are doing. I love flipping through and getting ideas and see who’s used some of mine.
Oh well, at least I won this year. And by that, I mean I made it into the book. And by that, I mean I made it five times! With close to 1300 entries from almost 80 colleges and universities, I’m pretty stoked to say the least.
So all is well in the land of Jakewood –- at least for now.
Here are the awards I won and the pages with them. By far the greatest success in my collegiate career concerning all things design is winning first place in the nameplate category. I spent more than a year designing the template for The Sentinel’s current nameplate, so winning that was huge for me.
NAMEPLATE: 1st Place
HEADLINE PRESENTATION: 2nd Place
SPORTS PAGE: 3rd Place
INFO GRAPHIC: 4th Place
PHOTO PAGE SPREAD: 4th Place

congrats jake!
Wow!! This is impressive.
I am Kelly's Mom, she turned me on to your site. I took journalism in HS and went on for a very brief stint
at SFCC taking Design/Graphic Art and Art History. So your stuff is very intriguing to me.
Your work is really great Jake. You have what it takes to go very far in your field. I'll be watching to see your talent go national.
Congrats and best wishes for a very promising career!
Thanks! And just so you know, Dorene, SFCC just won an award or two at the national convention where I was just at. Thanks again!
