Students in the fall sections of the ADVANCED CLASSES submitted their 2024 GATEWAY TECHNICAL COLLEGE DISTRICT-WIDE STUDENT DESIGN SHOW design submissions back in October and November of 2023.
The event has been scheduled this year on April 16th – 22nd, in the North Commons of Gateway’s Elkhorn Campus, with anAWARDS RECEPTION PARTY scheduled for April 18th.
Members of GTC’s Administration team have helped us each year in the selection of the Show Identity and Direction.
The DESIGN SELECTED for this year’s design show (the item that received the most ordinal vote points) is:
Voting was a bit tighter this year, and Alexander Barthuly’s Design won by two points among our Administrative Team. A faded and scratched retro-poster feel, colorful design, and “entry ticket” concept make a loose allusion to Gateway being an entry-ticket of sorts,
as well as being an invitation to people to attend.
The SECOND PLACE SELECTION:
Aaron Zachar’s design has a “traditional media” feel of chalk and pastels against a sketch-like typographical treatment emphasizing the traditional artistic underpinnings
sometimes utilized in the graphic design field.
The THIRD PLACE SELECTION:
Erika Menzel’s sketch-style butterfly makes a fine art-style allusion to a metamorphosis, with a sketchbook-style “doodled” typographical treatment in the fore.
The Graphic Design Department would like to thank all of the Administrators who helped us select this year’s identity, and congratulate all of the students who participated in this year’s competition.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the show in April!
