Design Firm MINE to be Most Honored in Biennial Exhibition

The Pasadena Museum of California Art has honored the San Francisco design firm MINE with four inclusions in the prestigious California Design Biennial - the most inclusions of any graphic design firm.

"It's an honor to have just one of our projects recognized," says Christopher Simmons, principal and creative director of the three-person firm, "We were most honored to learn that four of our projects were accepted into the biennial."

MINE is represented alongside several larger, more well-known firms such as Apple, Mitsubishi, and Belkin, and is one of just 17 graphic design firms represented in the biannual exhibition.

MINE's winning projects include a book designed for Rockport Publishers, a poster for AIGA, the professional association for design, and the firm's own stationery design.

The fourth project, a roll of barricade tape imprinted with the words "everything is ok" has been appearing mysteriously at protest rallies and public gatherings over the past year.

Although all of the projects have previously received international recognition for design excellence, Simmons says it is particularly gratifying to be recognized in your home state."
