Eight Newhouse School students have been honored in the annual Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) Design Annual Showcase, winning awards for projects that reflect graphic design’s influence in shaping and serving commerce and culture. The projects were completed in a final capstone course during the students’ senior year.
The team of designers who participated in the 2024 Pixels & Print project at the Newhouse School was also recognized in the professional category of Designing for Good. Pixels & Print is an intensive, 48-hour workshop in which students, faculty and staff collaborate with professionals in the industry on a design makeover for a deserving organization. Last year’s client was The Baldwin Fund, which took on a $50 million campaign initiative to raise money for cancer research and establish a National Cancer Institute in Syracuse.
The winning entry included a new logo for The Baldwin Fund, motion graphics, banners, branded items such as T shirts and tote bags, and a refreshed website.
The following projects created by Newhouse students also won awards, which were announced in January. The competition included more than 8,000 submissions; only the top 10% of entries are selected as winners.
“This is graphic design harnessed to effectively crystallize and express the essence of organizations, companies, brands, products, services, cultures [and] causes,” GDUSA said in its awards announcement.
