A TRADITION THAT RENEWS

With the help of many of America’s leading art and design schools and programs, we once again identify top students ready to burst on the graphic design scene. Some are undergrads, others are graduate or continuing education students, all have found personal and professional growth through their programs. Our Students To Watch feature has become tradition that resonates and renews: the students get recognized and the professional creative community gets refreshed. As you will see, we focus on the good and great traditional design schools and keep casting our net wide to include wonderful public and private university programs, innovative online and certificate programs, and more. In the next edition of GDUSA magazine, we’ll take a look at selected leading schools and programs.
