Parkland College will be hosting a reception for their Graphic Design Student Show tomorrow evening in conjunction with CUDO. Over $1,400 in prizes and awards will be awarded, and those interested can RSVP here. The reception will run from 5 p.m to 7 p.m.
From Parkland College:
Parkland’s Graphic Design and Interactive Design programs feature intensive hands-on studio classes that are rooted in real-world problem-solving. Students start building portfolio samples in their first semester and then keep building them throughout the two-year program. The best of these projects are featured every year in a juried exhibition in Parkland’s art gallery.
Come out and help celebrate another year of dedication, passion, and creative problem-solving. Expect to see great examples of advertising, branding, packaging, posters, brochures, T-shirts, motion graphics, websites, illustration, and other examples of commercial work.
Special thanks for the generous support from the people at Surface 51, The Robeson Family, [co][lab], Studio 2D, Six Demon Studio, Wesley Food Pantry and the Champaign-Urbana Design Org (CUDO) who all donated cash awards. CUDO also co-sponsors the reception every year.
And a very special thanks to Matt Wiley (Graphic Designer, Taylor Studios) and Kelly White (Executive Director, 40 North) who donated their time to judge the show and select the award winners.
Be sure to RSVP on Facebook to see sneak peaks leading up to the event.
