Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design

Watkins College of Art and Design

The word on the street is that the December show was a major event, drawing in hundreds of friends, family and industry professionals looking to hire their next graphic designer.

The crime theme of the invitation carried through into the show. The space at Studio Daylight was decked out in police crime scene tape and everyone received a parting gift of senior "mug" shots...on a coffee mug. Fabulous food and drinks paired with portfolios displaying a variety of talent kept people in attendance well past the 9:00 pm time frame.

Congratulations to all of the graduates who worked hard to create their "killer designs". A big thank you to all of the wonderful sponsors who supported the Senior Show.
