GDUSA Vol.48 N°1 (January 2012)

8 People to watch
GDUSA starts each year by choosing a group of People To Watch who embody the spirit of the creative community. The criteria: individuals who we have come to know and respect for a combination of talent, leadership, involvement. In a field so deep in talent and intelligence and achievement, this is clearly a subjective process. Still, for nearly five decades, it has seemed to work out: the roster at past participants is star studded and the 2012 group adds to the luster.

46 Students to watch
With the help of America’s leading schools, we identify 25 of the top art and design students in the land representing students get recognized and we get energized. A special thanks to The Creative Group, a leading specialized staffing firm, for sponsoring this feature, and for providing real world job hunting tips for recent and soon to be graduates from Executive Director Donna Farrugia. Next month we’ll spotlight the wonderful schools from which these students come.

66 Companies to watch
Companies and institutions that understand the creative mind are rare. Every year, we spotlight a selection of Designer-Friendly companies and resources who provide first rate products, services, resources, information, value. From papermakers to manufactures to producers to distributors to eventmakers to associations, they stand with the graphic design community in this time of change.

93 Past people to watch
Here is a list of the nearly five decades of creative professionals recognized in our January special editions. It is a truly remarkable array of the great and near great across generations. If this list does not read like a Hall of Fame – the early decades alone included Primo Angeli, Saul Bass, Clive Chajet, Lou Dorfsmarn, Gene Federico, Bob Gill, Walter Landor, George Lois, John Massey, Herb Meyers, Massimo Vignelli – we don’t know what does.
