Award-Winning Projects

  • Admissions Viewbook

    CASE III Grand Award
    Category: Print and Digital Publications, Recruitment Publication

    Our goal in creating the admissions viewbook with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions was to convey the spirit of the university to prospective students and their families. Because the viewbook could be the first point of contact between a prospective student and the university, it needs to paint a picture of how South Carolina would support their interests and growth. Strong imagery of our campus and community define most pages and are accompanied by a quick but thorough look at the university's wide range of academic and extracurricular offerings.

  • MINI Conversations

    ADDY Gold and Special Judges’ Awards
    Category: Film, Video and Sound, Webisode Series

    The MINI Conversations web series was inspired by the popular Carpool Karaoke and Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee videos. In each video, South Carolina President Harris Pastides drove interesting, noteworthy members of the university family around campus while engaging them in conversations about their time at South Carolina. Guests in the series included UofSC first lady Patricia Moore-Pastides, Marcus Lattimore, Charles Bierbaur and even the university’s mascot, Cocky.
