“Hell-City Hitcher” movie posters

Some students participated in the creation of Movie Posters for a local film being produced in and around the Racine Area, with an “all-Racine cast,” in the Spring 2019 semester.

The film is an Indie ‘musical-comedy-horror’ produced and directed by former Racine resident “Loganzo Poelmanzo,” and loosely inspired by the 1976 murder of an area teen.

GDA tours two innovative Milwaukee Advertising Agencies

Gateway Technical College’s GDA club (Graphic Design Association) toured two innovative  advertising / design agencies in downtown Milwaukee on May 22, 2014.

Sōsh is a social media marketing firm representing a variety of companies, including Johnsonville Brats  and Snapper Mowers. Social media is not a mere department within Sōsh, but rather their forte and “raison-d´être.” Students learned about this emergent media, its unique requirements of designers, and its potential for dynamism and power.

Hanson Dodge Creative is one of the premiere active lifestyle creative agencies in the world. With a strong digital presence, Hanson Dodge explained to students the importance of branding to the commercial creative process on every level.

In between, students stopped for a quick lunch at the popular third-ward Milwaukee Public Market.
