Top CSN Design Student Posters On Display

Missed the CSN Design Event of Spring Semester:
the 6th Design Exhibition by students of the CSN Graphic Communications program?

Well, now on display on the Cheyenne Campus are the posters from that event, created by students of Dan McElhattan III's Electronic Design course. They were created by participants in the student show titled "Persistence of Vision — an Optical Representation of One's Inner Meaning or Significance."

Show Promo Poster by Brad Beard.

Held at the end of Spring Semester earlier this year (see May 6, 2012 post) in the world-class venue of the Las Vegas Design Center of the World Market Center, the show has been a semesterly event for McElhattan's GRC 207 class.

The students design and plan the show under McElhattan's watchful eye. They decide on the theme and choose from among their fellow student's work which poster will be used for the event's promotional poster. This show was represented by Brad Beard's artwork (see above).

McElhattan commented that the judges, selected from the local art and design community, were "blown away by the work" the students did. Some of them came up to him and said, "Dan, these are world class. These guys can right now get some serious work done. Now."
Referring to their statements, he said "that is a powerful thing." McElhattan told his students afterwards that they can start pitching themselves to large agencies and get some world-class work.

The tally of the judges showed a three-way tie for the "Most Memorable": Jared Williams, Siun Pak, and Brad Beard.

Jared Williams' poster proved to be the darling of the judges.

The "Judges' Choice" went to Jared Williams (see right).

At the end of the event, McElhattan commented to all in attendance on the work of the students. "Every single poster is absolutely unbelievable. They worked their butts off. Every single one of them is a winner in my eyes."

The event was catered and xylophone music was played by Pierre Dubé

The event was sponsored by CSN, M3AD (www.m3ad.com), Las Vegas Design Center, Lapour,  the MetroMedia.com, caper entertainment, Pierre Dubé.
