2019 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!

For the fifth year, a panel of design educators from across North America reviewed the 26 entries and awarded one first place, one second place, and seven honorable mentions. The designer of the winning poster will receive free registration to the 2019 UCDA Design Conference in Portland, Oregon.
