Non-Profit OneHen.org Receives Recognition for Outstanding Work in
the Interactive Category
Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE) today announced that its Sapient Interactive
service group has been selected as a winner in the prestigious American
Graphic Design Awards for 2008. This award recognizes Sapient’s
work around the OneHen.org, an interactive Website designed to engage
and educate children, parents and teachers on the benefits of
microfinance.
The American Graphic Design Awards received over 10,000 entries for this
year’s competition, with winners selected by
leading creative and design professionals from across the nation, and
represent the most innovative concepts and creative designs from the
industry each year. Designed and built by Sapient Interactive,
OneHen.org is an online space where children can connect with the
concept of microfinancing through fun, interactive games. As the
ultimate goal of the site is to stimulate a call to action, OneHen also
gives children the opportunity to make real donations to microfinancing
projects through “virtual loans.”
"This award recognizes the dedication and creativity of a stellar team
and highlights the unique aspects of an important initiative like
OneHen.org," said Gaston Legorburu, chief creative officer at Sapient.
"We are proud to be associated with OneHen.org which is teaching
millions of children the value of microfinancing through a compelling
and exciting interactive experience. We are truly honored to receive
this award as it validates our commitment to all aspects of interactive
development and design excellence."
The popular American Graphic Design Awards are a nearly four decade-old
competition open to advertising agencies, graphic design firms,
corporate, and institutional and in-house publishing departments. This
award honors a diverse array of outstanding work from across all media,
including print and collateral, advertising and sales promotion,
corporate identity and logos, internet and interactive design, packaging
and point-of-purchase, and broadcast and motion graphics.
