As Vice President of the Graphic Design Senior Student Association, GDSSA, I helped organize and manage the annual Visual Communication Design poster show and auction. This year, my poster design (above image) was selected to represent our show out of 44 submissions.

The pandemic may have kept us a minimum of six feet apart, but my involvement in this event made me feel connected. I was regularly reaching out to designers and studios for poster donations, constantly collaborating with my GDSSA teammates, and taking an active role in our state by helping support a local organization. The theme for my poster couldn’t have come more naturally, and my passion for the subject fueled its visualization. My final design was inspired by a combination of acquired illustrating techniques, inspirational artwork, and social media feed.
