In recognition of Dr. O'Brien's article, the panel of judges from the Tabbies said, "The passion, knowledge and care that the writer brings to this piece punches, fast, through the reactive-responsive, illustrative design of this long-read feature. Wonderful first-person style of writing, which works for an article such as this. Not least, what an impeccable focus on design, inherently necessary to pulling off something as complex as this deep, 'eye-candy' feature. ... Extremely well-written and went beyond a mere history lesson. The writer wove words in with the artwork to form a cohesive vision."
