Show Identity
Each year, students in the fall sections of 201-108 (Advanced Problems) design the STUDENT DESIGN SHOW IDENTITY for the upcoming Spring term. The designs are shared with Administrative employees and leadership within Gateway Technical College, who ultimately select the winning entry each year.
The 2025 Student Design Show Identity was designed by student Jaden Hinds.
The concept of creativity being something that is almost magically conjured by one’s talent and energy from their fingertips was a great metaphor for visual creativity… and Jaden’s concept captured the idea perfectly.
2025 SDS Judges (in no particular order)
We would, once again, love to thank this year’s judges from business and industry. Their judging of the SDS provide a neutral assessment of the work, and is such a valuable resource for the students in our learning community. THANK YOU!
