AMELIE COMPANY ART DIRECTOR HONORED IN NATIONAL COMPETITION:

WINS GOLD AT "CREATE AWARDS" 

Denver, CO - October 4, 2007 - Amélie Company, a Denver-based advertising, public relations and marketing agency, announced today that their Senior Art Director, Anita Ashfield-Salter, has won a GOLD AWARD in the 2007 Create Awards competition.

Ashfield-Salter won Gold in the category of CREATIVE INDUSTRY SELF PROMOTION for her "Slang Flash Cards/Calendar". The calendar serves as both a business development piece and gift for Amélie Company's clients, vendors and partners.  The 2007 "How to be hip in your everyday life" theme features a different word or phrase for each month.  The funny, hip-hop urban slang is injected into everyday conversation and set against the backdrop of a retro, 1950's collection of cartoons.  Ashfield-Salter is a decorated art designer, having already received national awards for projects such as the Jeffco Credit Union corporate identity.  This year's entries came from around the world, and were judged by more than 20 leading professionals spanning eight creative industries.  Only 235 awards were chosen out of the roughly 2,400 entries. 

The Create Awards (www.thecreateawards.com) is one of the top competitions for working creative professionals.  Produced by Create Communications, publishers of Create Magazine, the intense competition included 40 categories and 300 subcategories in eight major creative industries including: advertising and art direction, film and video, motion graphics, graphic communication, photography, printing and packaging, interactive, copy writing, self promotion, and student work from creatives all over the world.  

"I would like to congratulate Anita for the amazing job she did on the calendar.  The fact that a jury of professional designers chose her work as the the best shows how lucky we are to have her at Amélie," said Benoît Guin, Amélie Company Principal.  "We also want to thank Create Magazine, the award's architect, for fueling the professional creative community."
