First Look: 2018 Student Design Show Awards

This year’s identity features a stylized watercolor “Red Hawk” (Gateway’s mascot) soaring upward in flight. An apt visual metaphor for Gateway Students.

For this year’s award, designer Kristen Cajka looked towards something different—adding more color and a unique quality to the awards.
With the assistance of the Fab Lab’s John Zehren, and instructor  Peter Pham, Kristen’s awards were fabricated from scratch with materials purchased at local businesses, and  manufactured at Gateway’s S.C. Johnson iMET center FAB LAB.

2018 STUDENT DESIGN SHOW IDENTITY

This Spring, the district-wide STUDENT DESIGN SHOW will return to the Kenosha Campus! (The last design show held on the Kenosha campus was in 2005). The RECEPTION and AWARDS will be held on Thursday, April 12, 2018, from 5:00 – 8:00pm in the Kenosha Campus Atrium.

This year’s identity was designed by Ms. Kristen Cajka. Kristen’s design was selected from a panel of Administrators and Administrative support personnel (at the end of January) from a pool of submissions from students in the Advanced course on both the Racine and Elkhorn Campuses.

It incorporates Kristen’s traditional watercolor interpretation of the Gateway Technical College mascot soaring upwards; the RED HAWK.

Congratulations Kristen!
