This spring break, graphic design students at 成人头条 had the opportunity to apply the skills they learned in the classroom to real-world situations and serve the 成人头条 community in the process.
鈥�100 Hours of Design鈥� is a program organized by Assistant Professor Jeff Pulaski and Associate Professor Jim Hellman from WSU鈥檚 School of Art and Design to bring valuable experience-based learning opportunities to their students.
Juniors in the program spent their spring break this year working with professional designers from the 成人头条 AIGA group to develop solutions to visual problems for nonprofit organizations in the 成人头条 community.
Three small groups of students met with clients March 13 to hear about the work they do in the community and their particular communication issues. During spring break, the following week, the students worked to find solutions to their clients鈥� problems. The project culminated with presentations by the students on March 20 at the McKnight Art Center.
Clients for the project included the Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County, The Old Town Association, Commerce Street Arts District and Spero House. AIGA 成人头条 professionals who mentored the students included Doug Stucky, the group鈥檚 president, and Jonathan Wood, membership chair.
