Director/Photographer Stewart Cohen‘s new book, “Identity: A Photographic Meditation From The Inside Out” won a Silver Medal in the Book Category, and a Gold Medal as a Judge’s Choice Award at the 42nd Annual Dallas Society of Visual Communications (DSVC) Dallas Show. The Show was held June 5th at the Women’s Museum in Fair Park.
The book is comprised of 50 portraits of interesting and compelling people from all walks of life. Accompanying each image is a handwritten note by the subject, answering Stewart’s question, “What makes you unique as an individual?” This combination of words and images elevates the book beyond the traditional portrait book, to what Cohen calls a “bio-pic.” The book was designed by Todd Hart and Zech Bard of Focus2, and the text written by Bill Baldwin.
The book may be purchased from http://www.dreameditionspress.com, Amazon.com. Visit website for complete list of retailers.

About DSVC
The Dallas Society of Visual Communications (DSVC) was founded in 1957 as the Dallas/Fort Worth Art Directors Club. As the Metroplex grew, however, the club broadened its scope to embrace all professionals involved in marketing communication, including writers, photographers, illustrators, broadcast producers, Internet professionals, and the many vendors and suppliers who support them. In 1975, the Club changed its name officially to The Dallas Society of Visual Communications — a change that coincided with the emergence of Dallas/Fort Worth as a center of accomplishment in advertising, design, filmmaking, and numerous other facets of visual communication. Over the years, the DSVC has grown to become one of the largest independent clubs of its kind. Along the way it has continually sought to elevate the standards of the industry and promote the value that creative professionals add to commerce and the community at-large.
