Monday's Events


Our inaugural Nancy Clarvit Design Week has seen our Design Studio packed with students, plenty of pizza and lots of great design. Francheska Guerrero’s presentation type design was inspiring. The amount of work that goes into designing a single typeface can be overwhelming. Francheska showed us that she, like many other typeface designers, has the discipline to create functional and beautiful (and sometimes quirky) typefaces, such as Miss Sassy. Her presentation was a great kickoff to the week's events.


After Francheska's presentation, students tried their hand at creating logotypes through modifications of classic typefaces and explorations of new letterforms.



Later Monday afternoon, Professor Ruth Lozner's students showed off the presentations they made for Target and General Motors in two separate case studies. Plenty of research as well as stunning design and thoughtful suggestions and recommendations made their winning presentations so successful. Team members for the GM presentation were: Tiffany Lin, Brianne Macy, Ashlee Sasscer, and Cassie Stuper. Beth Summers, Kelly Lai, and Cassie Stuper made up the Target team.
