(NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced the company's Xcell Journal magazine has been awarded the APEX 2011 Award of Excellence in two categories: Magazine & Journal Writing and Magazine & Journal Design & Layout.

"From the dynamic Contents spread to the 'back of the book' Caption Contest, the content is cutting edge, and so are the visuals," said John De Lellis, Editor and Publisher of Writing that Works, which holds the APEX competition annually. "Excellent, top-drawer graphics in a clean layout that 'moves' can't help but complement the well-researched and tightly written copy — not easy given the highly technical nature of the content. But useful charts and infographics reinforce the copy and help the reader absorb the key points in each article. A top-level effort."
"We're honored to be honored with these prestigious APEX awards for excellence," said Mike Santarini, Xcell Journal publisher. "We take great pride in providing our customers with informative, highly technical content to help them stay tuned with the latest Xilinx and industry developments, and share design experiences with their colleagues."
In the 23rd Annual APEX Awards, awards were given in 130 communications categories for newsletters, magazines and journals, maga-papers and newspapers, annual reports, brochures, manuals and reports, electronic and video publications, Web and intranet sites, campaigns, programs and plans, writing, design and illustration, and one-of-a-kind publications.
