BIllerud is the exclusive sponsor of our 63rd annual print survey which finds new challenges for print designers but a reaffirmation of the enduring value of print. Below is information about Billerud’s extensive product offerings and services — they are a global leader in paper and packaging materials made with cellulose fibers.

Mother Design Shop is a shop dedicated to well-designed analog crafts and is “mostly an excuse to share our love of design with the general public, meet new people, and have unexpected conversations.”

Like all effective packaging, a strategically designed presentation folder gives loose materials coherence, sequence, and logic, turning simple containment into a more deliberate user experience.

This winter, we featured our annual Students-to-Watch selections. Now we offer GDUSA’s favorite graphic design schools and programs preparing the next generation for a dream career in the real world. Our selections are informed, but not formulaic. They reflect years of conversation and collaboration with creative leaders, educators, administrators, hiring managers, recruiters and feedback from the community. The result is a curated, alphabetical roster encompassing the good and great traditional design schools, as well as a strategic selection of first-rate public and private university departments, and carefully chosen online-first programs for undergrads, grad students, and continuing education.
