Congratulations again to all of this year’s winners and honorees for helping raise the creative standard on the Gulf Coast and beyond.
Strong work. Honest feedback. Real growth.
On April 16, Student Portfolio Review Night at MGCCC Perkinston Campus brought six Graphic Design Technology students together with industry pros for real world feedback and insight.
Huge thanks to Ryan Berg, Jeff Harrison, Sylvia Hanes, Steven Herbert, and Daniel Calcote for investing their time and expertise. Each student received feedback on multiple projects, gaining confidence and fresh perspective on their work.
This is how we build the next generation of creatives.
