Laura Fleeman Walker, graphic designer for the Department of Communications

and Marketing at Delta State, displays the ADDY awards the department brought
home from recent competition.

Delta State University’s Office of Communications and Marketing brought home

six awards from the America Advertising Federation’s (AAF) District Seven
ADDY Awards Ceremony held recently in Indianola. Delta State received one
Gold ADDY, four Silver ADDYs, and one Bronze ADDY and a Best of Show
award.
Delta State was awarded Gold ADDY and the Best of Show in Print award for its
newspaper admissions ad campaign “Join in. Stand Out” designed by Laura
Fleeman Walker, Delta State graphic designer.

The campaign also won a Silver ADDY in the newspaper campaign-color

category.

Walker, along with Communications and Marketing Director Michael Gann and
Photographer Bill Moses received a Silver ADDY in the annual report category
for Delta State’s 2008-09 President’s Report.

Walker, Gann, Moses, and Delta State Vice President for University Relations
Michelle Roberts won a Silver ADDY in magazine design for the Delta State
Foundation 2009 Fall Alumni Magazine and a Bronze ADDY for the 2009 Spring
Alumni Magazine.

The Mississippi Summer Arts Institute logo designed by Walker for Delta State’s
Bologna Performing Arts Center brought home a Silver ADDY.

“We are honored to be recognized by the Mississippi Delta chapter of the AAF,”
said Gann. “The fact that we doubled the number of awards from last year is a
testament to the efforts of our staff and to the creative talents of Laura Walker
who designed every piece we entered in the competition.”

The Office of Communications and Marketing is the public relations arm of Delta
State University.
