7.05.2018

The new Illinois College website was recently named as a winner in the Graphic Design USA's annual American Web Design Awards.

IC partnered with digital creative agency of Columbus, OH for a complete redesign which launched in in February of this year. Winners were selected from from more than 1,500 entries and the 89 award winners span a variety of sectors.

Our partnership with Knowble Media has been a wonderful, reflective experience. Together we were not only able to create a new website that best represents the College, but provides a platform for us to truly tell the Illinois College story in new and exciting ways.
