Five Pennsylvania College of Art & Design students have been honored for their work through the 2025 GDUSA Package Design Awards. Only the top 10 percent of submitted designs are selected and celebrated for this accomplishment. 

This year, Aiyana Alvarado, Warren Burke, Coby Correll, Matthew Dornan and Bailey Stechman have been singled out by GDUSA; all five are Graphic Design seniors and submitted their entries as part of instructor Tom Newmaster’s fall semester Packaging Design class. While referencing historic and contemporary case studies, competitors, and consumer research, the students produced experimental and conceptual work in the field.

  • Coby Correll: Little Reds Ear Buds
  • Matthew Dornan: QAT Ear Buds
