InsideCounsel’s design wins award from Society of Publication Designers

Chicago, IL (March 2, 2006) – The Society of Publication Designers selected InsideCounsel as a Merit Award winner in its prestigious 41st Annual Magazine Design Competition, honoring the magazine’s redesign.

InsideCounsel was relaunched with a new name and complete redesign in January 2006. A unit of WICKS Business Information (WBi), InsideCounsel formerly was known as Corporate Legal Times.

The goal of the redesign was to create a more contemporary, accessible and reader-friendly publication, making it easier for an executive readership to locate the content of most importance to them. The redesigned magazine features more access points to articles, a clearer layout and a more contemporary business look and feel.

“We are very pleased that the prestigious SPD magazine design competition has recognized the redesign of InsideCounsel with a Merit Award,” said Robert Vosper, executive editor of InsideCounsel. “We wanted the look of the magazine to reflect the sophistication of our readers and the work they do as in-house counsel, and we are gratified that the competition judges have affirmed that we achieved our goal.”

Gold, Silver and Merit Award winners of the competition, which attracted more than 7,000 entrants, will be published in Pub 41, SPD’s compendium of the best editorial design of 2005, and will be honored at the Society’s annual Awards Gala in New York on May

InsideCounsel was redesigned by Kelly McMurray, creative director of Denver-based 2communique (www.2communique.com).
