HANA HOU!

Your magazine sweeps the publication design categories at the 2008 American Advertising Federation (Pele) Awards. A big mahalo and congratulations goes out to all of the contributors to HSD31 (VIEW MASTERS). This issue was judged magazine of the year. HSD30 (DIVE FLORIDA) won an Award of Excellence.      

Congratulations to John Johnson. His inhale shot of the Manatee mother and calf in HSD30 helped garner the magazine spread of the year award. This shot is also on display at the Smithsonian Institution. John’s pool shot for the HSD Shootout in HSD32 (GUNS AND AMMO) won an Award of Excellence. 

Winning Awards of Excellence were the NZ Bluefin spread in HSD30 (WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE) featuring Kent Fraser’s shot and HSD31’s inhale photo collage.

HSD also won the magazine covers of the year category. Congratulations to Mark Laboccetta for the HSD30 cover shot, Riley Yogi for his gyotaku in HSD33 and Catherine Landa for her awesome shot of Kurt Chambers at the corsair for HSD31.

Our friends at Element 8 also won an award for the HSD ad (GILLS) featuring Derek Levault’s corsair photograph. You guys rock!

These awards were judged by a national and international jury of top talent in the fields of design and publishing. Once again, we thank all of YOU who made these awards possible. This is your magazine and these are your awards. MAHALO
