2018 DESIGN FOR EDUCATION POSTER WINNERS

Surrounded by energetic students and inspiring scholars, designers working in higher education enjoy a meaningful and worthwhile career. Whether by creating student recruitment materials seen by high school students across the country, a billboard promoting the upcoming sport season, or a poster promoting a campus visit from a Nobel Prize winner, UCDA believes that designers working in education impact the lives of students, university communities, and beyond.

In sharing this belief that design matters, and that university designers and design educators can make a powerful impact in the world, students were encouraged to create a poster that visually communicates this idea loud and clear!

Now in its fourth year, a panel of design educators from across North America reviewed the 57 entries and awarded a single first-prize, two second-prizes, and six honorable mentions. The designer of the first-place winning poster will receive free registration to the 2018 UCDA Design Conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
