Cognella cover designs are recognized for their originality, creativity, and effectiveness 

San Diego, CA – September 16, 2025 – Four Cognella textbook covers have received 2025 Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) American Inhouse Design Awards for their innovation and impact.

For 62 years, the GDUSA Inhouse Design Awards have showcased outstanding work by inhouse creatives and their departments. It spotlights graphic design for commerce and culture at its best and celebrates the knowledge and abilities inhouse designers bring to the table to support organizations, products, services, causes, and ideas.

This year, GDUSA received more than 5,000 entries, and only the top 10% were recognized with awards. Included in the winning designs are four Cognella textbook covers created by Cognella Graphic Designers Jess Estrella, Emely Villavicencio, and Jessica Delia, featured below.

“The cover of a textbook is its opening act, setting the stage for the learning journey ahead,” said Cognella Founder and CEO Bassim Hamadeh. “The artistry and partnership between our authors and cover designers culminate in covers that speak volumes across print and digital formats. These visual introductions are key to sparking reader curiosity and inviting learners to the table. We couldn’t be prouder of these award-winning designs.”
