Graphic Design Program at Gateway Technical College

The summers of 2017 & 2018, GTC GRAPHIC COMM students had the chance to study abroad at a provincial French estate/vineyard; restoring and renovating.
Quick on one of the links below to see journal posts from the latest Graphic Comm study-abroad trip to the Château de Gudanes.
This semester’s study-abroad adventure centered on the repair and restoration of Château de Gudanes in the beautiful South of France.
Look forward to reading student journals from their adventures, and seeing updates posted on Facebook.
The YOUTUBE video and Website link for the restoration project are listed below.
This year’s Graphic Comm Study abroad program/Global Scholars visited Paris and Berlin. Check out the slideshow they put together of their trip and learning experience.
Fabricated on location at the iMET (using the “3D printer” at that location), this year’s Student Show awards will be unveiled at the RECEPTION on April 15th. For those curious should, here is a sneak peak (without spoiling the surprise).
Gateway Technical College Graphic Comm student Greg Kirstein collaborated with fellow graphic student Steven Samuelson and welding student Joe Felgenhauer to produce the work “KEYCOCK,” which was exhibited at the National American Association of Community Colleges’ national Workforce Development Institute held in St. Petersburg, Fla. Jan. 29-Feb. 1.
Photos of the piece were also displayed at The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The artist’s concept was to use keys received from across the Gateway District (Racine, Kenosha, and Elkhorn) to symbolize the keys to a proud and bright future. A video helping to document the process appears on YouTube (see below) as well as a newspaper article in the Kenosha News.

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 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.
