Graphic Communications Students in capstone classes taught by Michelle Quinn and John Mizer generated concepts for this year’s show promotion. Gateway marketing employees, Art Directors from regional design businesses, and district business owners were all solicited for feedback on which concept they liked best.
While all of the concepts received high praise from the outside judges, this years Invitation as selected by the impromptu panel was created by Ms. Dulce Velazquez. Dulce’s design will be used to generate posters, mailers, and a promotional video for this years show.
A rough-cut promotional video based on Dulce’s design was also created, and is currently viewable here (see embed below) as well as on YOUTUBE.
A short video on the program’s pedagogy put together by Michelle Quinn.
