Life doesn’t stand still, and neither does great design. One of our favorite categories at the PRINT Awards is Motion Graphics & Video – because it’s always filled with showstopping design that, you know, moves us. In this category, we’re evaluating a spectrum of design that moves – animated work, title graphics, commercials and advertisements, and documentary work.

Our jurors in this area are among the most exciting movers in the field, building some of the world’s most recognizable brands, helping emerging design leaders strive for social impact, and above all, creating video and animation work that reaches hearts and expands perspective.

Designer and director Santiago Carrasquilla is the co-founder of Art Camp, a creative studio “devoted to crafting rich experiences in the form of video, animation, photography, and design.” Founded in 2016, Art Camp’s goal is to “reach hearts, feel deeper, see differently, hear in new ways.” Santiago has spent his career developing those skills, beginning with his time as a student at New York’s School of Visual Arts, where he learned to communicate complicated ideas in a clear way.

As the Strategy Director at globally renowned creative company BUCK, Surabhi Rathi combines analytical rigor with imagination to architect transformative brand and communication strategies for some of the world’s most progressive brands. BUCK is known for deeply resonant, visually striking work across branding, experience, motion, and design, and Surabhi has applied her own rich design background to help craft compelling brand solutions for companies including IBM, Google, Bloomberg, PayPal, Microsoft, and many others. Surabhi also serves as thesis advisor for the Masters of Branding program at New York City’s School of Visual Arts, where she finds inspiration in guiding the next generation of strategists and creative leaders.

Josh Silverman has spent three decades building successful relationships by connecting communities across entrepreneurship, education, and design. Currently, Josh serves as Chair of the Master of Interaction Design (MDes) program at California College of the Arts, an intensive one-year STEM-designated program with an emphasis on social impact. He’s also the Founder & CEO of PeopleWork, a recruiting, coaching, and workshop practice, and a Partner in Mandel Creative. In 1997, he founded Schwadesign, a lean, holocratic design business, where he led diverse teams whose work was recognized by The Wall Street Journal, Rebrand.com, The Boston Globe, and more. Josh’s clients have included startups (iRobot, Buildium, Trinity Pharma), educational institutions (MIT, Harvard Medical School, Brown University), global enterprise (UBS, Wells Fargo, Accenture), cities (Providence, RI and Bethesda, MD), non-profits (American Heart Association, Friends of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute), and many more.

Last year’s PRINT Award winner in the Motion Graphics & Video category was Sharon and Guy’s “Chicago Design Through the Decades,” an outdoor public projection that offered a “swift, exciting journey” through the last century of Chicago design based on the extensive collection of the Chicago Design Archive.
