Graphic Design Program at Gateway Technical College
Department Site for the Graphic Design Program at Gateway Technical College
Several people have admired the “senior banners” that we display during each design show. Some have inquired who we have contracted for the banners, and for the last few years it has been SASS GRAPHIX in Salem, Wisconsin.
SASS also happens to be run by former GTC graphic communications student Paula Sass.

This year’s Student Design Show promotional materials were voted upon and selected by faculty and staff from close to fifteen submissions. Elkhorn Campus Student Nancy DuPont created the promotional look for the show. Nancy’s designs will be utilized on: postcards, posters, and other promotional materials for the 2014 show run.
Congratulations Nancy!
Thanks so much for visiting our site and supporting our Students in the Graphic Communications Program District-wide.
The very first Student Design Show to exhibit the work of students from all three campus locations was held in Kenosha in the Madigano Theater Commons in 1999.
Its hard to believe that we are on our 16th year of the district-wide combined show, and our 18th year overall! The show originally rotated among each of the three main campuses (Kenosha, Racine, and Elkhorn) annually.
We now rotate at locations between the two campus regions offering the Graphic Communications Program, and are excited to be holding the show at a brand new venue this year (the S.C. Johnson iMET center in Sturtevant).
Since 2007 we have maintained a show presence on the web (we have documentation of some of the more recent shows–2010 onward).
This year’s STUDENT DESIGN SHOW will be held at a new venue: the S.C. Johnson iMET Center in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. Conveniently located east of Interstate 94 between Highways 11 and 20, the center is conveniently located between the various student populations.
The facilities home for Gateway Technical College’s Engineering Programs, Development Incubators, Manufacturing Technologies, and 3d Printing/Fabrications Labs, the S.C. Johnson iMET center is yet another of Gateway Technical College’s state of the art showcase pieces.
The 2013 DISTRICTWIDE STUDENT DESIGN SHOW will be held on the Elkhorn Campus. The show alternates between the Racine and Elkhorn Campuses, and features the design work of students in the Graphic Communications Program.
GATEWAY STUDENTS: please see the PDF attached (below) for submitting work to this year’s Districtwide Student Design Show.

The official reception for the 2012 SDS was held Tuesday Evening (Apr. 24). The event was well attended with a nice size spillover crowd into the Commons area! The delicious food (prepared by the Culinary Arts program) and Beautiful Floral arrangements (Floral Design Program) added to a wonderful and memorable evening.
Please remember that the show will continue to be exhibited until May 3rd (May 4th begins the takedown phase). This website will continue to provide information after the show is officially taken down, and will serve as a virtual gallery for the pieces until the next show (SDS XV in 2013). We welcome all of our buisness and community partners to check in until then.

Long and Laborious, many many hours results in just a few minutes of claymation. Check out some of the students collaborating on a clay-motion scene.
