The designs for which these students were recognized were work they produced in Cumberland’s courses in the fall of 2023.

GDUSA explained that the winners come from a wide variety of organizations and businesses: from traditional to new media; from inspirational assignments to bread and butter projects; from large creative agencies and departments to boutique design studios and freelancers and student work.
