For 60 Years, The First Edition of GDUSA Has Recognized ‘People to Watch’ Who Embody The Spirit of the Creative Community.
Individuals we know and respect for a combination of talent, success, leadership, newsworthiness, influence, thought-leadership and community service. To kick off our 60th anniversary year, we hear from 60 people about the past, present and — most important — the future of graphic design. In a field so deep in talent and broad in numbers, this is clearly a subjective process. We hope you enjoy our 2023 selections, and appreciate their take on where the creative profession has been and where it is going. This report is also featured in our February 2023 print and digital editions.
