Graphis Inc.

Graphis Inc. is an international publisher of books and awards for the Visual communications industry. Based in New York City, Graphis presents and promotes the best-submitted work in graphic design, advertising, photography, poster design, branding, typeface design, logo design and illustration. Graphis award competitions are juried by award-winning leading creatives, including Graphic Design, Advertising, Photography, Posters, New Talent (Student), Packaging and Protest Posters. The award-winning work is published online and in fine art quality hardbound books.

Other Graphis books include: Takenobu Igarashi: Design and Fine Art, Ally & Gargano, Kit Hinrichs' Narrative Design, and Richard Wilde's Wilde Years, among many others. Graphis also publishes a New Talent Annual that presents the best student work of the year, providing young professionals exposure and recognition. Graphis Magazine ended at issue No. 355, and a new Graphis Journal magazine, starting with Issue No. 356, was introduced in 2018. The Graphis Journal presents stories on the top talents who have been consistent Platinum and Gold winners in the Graphis annual competitions.

History
Graphis was founded in 1944 by Walter Herdeg and Dr. Walter Amstutz in Zurich, Switzerland. The magazine was started with the September/October 1944 issue. In 1986, B. Martin Pedersen purchased the company from Mr. Herdeg and later moved the headquarters to New York City. The Annuals were redefined, and new books were added to the roster, including New Talent (student work), Typography, Branding, Logo & Letterhead, among others.

Awards
Graphis annually invites professionals across the design industry communities to enter. Among these submissions, Graphis selects the most compelling work of the year for Platinum, Gold, and Silver awards considerations, which are featured in hardcover Annuals and on the website. In addition, Honorable Mentions are also archived permanently on Graphis' website. Up to 500 submissions are published and presented on the site, supporting professionals, as well as young and emerging talent.
