This high-level recognition provides further evidence of the caliber of students in our graphic design program.”  

“Selected from a mind boggling 10,000+ entries, these pieces — and their creators — represent the best and brightest and most resilient of our community,” said Gordon Kaye, editor of GDUSA. “The numbers alone are prodigious: 700 pieces reflecting the endless ways in which first-rate graphic design shapes commerce, culture, ideas and causes. Equally exciting is the sheer breadth of it all. Projects run the gamut from traditional print and packaging and p-o-p to websites, mobile and apps, from dream assignments to bread and butter endeavors, from Fortune 500 companies to non-profits, from ad agencies and design studios to inhouse departments, from red states to blue. Represented are great and established creative minds as well as many others striving to grow, learn and find their place in the sun.”
