Top 20 Student and Alumni Creations of 2016

Well, another year has come to an end and while many are happy to say goodbye to the year 2016, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on all the amazing designs created by our students and alumni throughout the year. We’re counting down the Top 20 Student & Alumni Creations of 2016 based off of likes via our Instagram profile. If you’re not following us on Instagram already, you should be and while you’re at it, check out the accounts from our students and alumni as well. Many of them produce amazing creative content regularly.
