Six Degrees of NC State

Students are often a resourceful breed but the latest effort from the students at North Carolina State University goes far beyond the usual selling of plasma for a new hard drive.

On top of their own rigorous curriculum, the graphic design students at NC State gathered work from their peers, wrote design essays, solicited advertisers, and printed an actual magazine that could hold its own on newsstand shelves. They even got the duchess of design education, NC State prof Meredith Davis, to submit an article.

Six Degrees, a magazine and online forum for great designers who just so happen to attend NC State, is now available. Browse a sampling of the print version online, check out the multimedia offerings (love Matt Balla’s PSA), and wonder what you might have created in college had you not been so hard at work on the definitive beer label collection.
