SPD-U Spotlight 07.20.15 posted by Student Editors

It's the middle-of-summer and the last academic year surely seems like forever ago. But there was some incredible student work that was done, and here at SPD-U headquarters, we are so excited to get to showcase some of it as part of our 2015 SPD-U Spotlight Online Gallery Show!

Our team of super-talented and super-cool judges -- Food & Wine Art Director James Maikowski, Creative Director José Reyes of Metaleap Creative, Nylon Design Director Renee Rupcich, Mother Jones Creative Director Ivylise Simones and Popular Mechanics Design Director Michael Wilson -- routinely commented on the high quality of work they saw with each judging round, and in the end, they selected 24 entries to be part of the show.

We're starting off this 2015 Online Gallery Show by showcasing one of our 5 Gold Medal winners each day this week. Next week, we'll show off our 6 Silver Medalists, and finish up with our 13 Merit Winners next Thursday. So be sure to check in here and follow us on social media as we show off all the terrific designs.

Thanks to ALL of you who entered and made the judges' job a difficult one! And now without further delay, our 2015 SPD-U Spotlight winners ...
