Return of the CD Grads is a lecture event at Kutztown University where Communication Design alumni return to share their experiences with current students.

The theme for the event was Growth, symbolizing the transformation from students to alumni. The poster uses bright colors to convey an uplifting atmosphere, set at the familiar local Kutztown Airport Diner, a spot where both graduates frequented as students. The composition peers over two mugs looking outside the window, where illustrated flowers grow to represent how the grads have blossomed over time. The design evokes a sense of nostalgia and homecoming, capturing the growth and success of the alumni in a vibrant, welcoming way.
