Photo Finish for BYU
Apparently photography is not Barras' only skill. His prophecy turned out to be dead-on accurate, as Maxwell learned at last month's IPMA awards banquet when the winning piece was revealed.
"I was blown away," he admits—despite Barras' prediction. "I really didn't expect it."
To come away with the top prize, out of all the offset-printed pieces, BYU's book had to prevail over some very tough competition. The final five pieces in the running for Best of Show included three striking publications from the Church of Scientology's in-plant. Watch the judges make their selection here:
Bob has served as editor of In-plant Impressions since October of 1994. Prior to that he served for three years as managing editor of Printing Impressions, a commercial printing publication.
