GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT
Welcome to the Gateway Technical College Graphic Communications Site. This is your communications central for all things related to the department: the annual student design show, and information about GTC’s Graphic Communications Program for Students.
A BIT ABOUT the SDS…
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).
2014 District-wide Student Design Show Venue
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.
Gateway introduces the FAB-LAB
Gateway Graphic Comm students, along with iMET Center Engineering and Fabrication Students (and all GTC students as well as the public at large) are using (and invited to find out more about using) the FAB LAB. Check out the video below.
