Student Work Gallery

CMCI students develop their portfolios through classes, clubs, student media, internships and personal projects. Since our college’s founding, we’ve collected some of their best creative work below.

From ad campaigns to photojournalism, and from graphic design to data visualizations, our gallery includes pieces featured in CMCI’s annual Student Showcase as well as award-winning projects submitted to the Hearst Journalism Awards Program.
