Last week, @isugd welcomed alumni and graphic designers from across the Midwest for Graphic Design Week and the Midwestern Graphic Design Biennial.

@midwesterngdb filled Gallery 181 with works by students from colleges and universities, crowning winners in 8 categories. (Special round of applause for our 3 Iowa State awardees!)

Meanwhile, Graphic Design week welcomed talented alumni to campus for portfolio reviews, hands on workshops, and post-grad conversation.

If there’s one thing we know… Midwest graphic designers are holding it down. by @isugd

We All Hate Your AI Flyer: Fighting AI Clutter with Strategic Design

We’ve all seen the same sloppy flyers and feeds crowded with AI mess. It’s irritating, cringy, and sadly becoming the new normal. When an image is fully generated, it loses the human layer that transforms pixels into design: communication. Great design isn’t just the finished look. It’s about interpreting client direction, making strategic decisions, and understanding the business. So how do we keep designing in a world full of AI clutter and a society that’s losing respect for our craft? Join me in this workshop as we tackle one of the biggest wicked problems graphic designers are facing today: Generative AI. by @isugd
