Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Dream Spaces Sourcebooks Win 4 ADDY® Awards
Los Angeles – For Immediate Release – Azina Communications announces that its Central Coast sourcebooks, Dream Spaces, have been awarded four ADDY Awards by the American Advertising Federation.
The American Advertising Federation, Central Coast Region, has conferred a Gold ADDY Award on the cover of Dream Spaces Specialty Places Santa Barbara August 2005 under the Publication Design category. The publication also received silver and bronze awards in the full page, four color ads/consumer categories and a bronze award for ads in publication design/consumer. Winners were announced March 9, 2006.
A comprehensive resource covering all the products and services needed to create a dream home, the Dream Spaces sourcebooks are a one-stop source to help consumers locate high-quality local home design retailers and service providers. Published twice annually for each county, the sourcebooks separately serve the very unique communities of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
Dream Spaces‘ three founding partners are publishing industry veterans who have produced magazines with nationwide circulation for mass and specialty audiences. The concept grew from their own experiences as consumers of design resources. According to Executive Vice President Glenys Archer, “When I was building and decorating my house, I had to comb through restaurant ads in the local city magazine, guess, or call, on most of the listings in the phone book. There just wasn’t one source where I could find all the retailers and service providers I needed, and where I could see what kind of work they did or what style of products they sold. When my partners complained of similar frustrations while remodeling and furnishing their homes, we realized there was a need for this kind of publication. Dream Spaces was created to fill that need.”
