The Regional Design Annual is the premiere design competition—and the only design competition that recognizes excellent work by the region from which it originates.
In the meantime, we’ve rounded up a few exceptional poster designs that were recognized in the 2014 Regional Design Annual. Creative poster design is common among RDA winners every year, but these pieces take the genre to a whole new level.
