18 Pixels: Undergraduate Graphic Design Portfolio Show opens at Center for Art & Theatre

April 10, 2017

The Georgia Southern University Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art presents “18 Pixels: Undergraduate Graphic Design Portfolio Show” April 14 – 26 in the Contemporary and University Galleries at the Center for Art and Theatre. The opening reception is April 14 from 5 – 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be served and the public is invited to attend.

This exhibition features four years of graphic design work in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program. This advanced-level, senior capstone Graphic Design Portfolio course was taught by associate professor Santanu Majumdar.  The students are Courtney Bonacci, Cameron Carney, Ellyn Duncan, Rashad Fife, Amanda Gunn, Lindsey Halstead, Akhira Hills, Kelli Jarrell, Danielle King, Gabby Lores, Melissa McAlpine, Deidre Pugh, Katherine Sanders, DaQuan Sims, Virginia Skinner, Mariah Smith, Mark Webb, and Courtney Wells.

“We live in an increasingly intensive design environment,” says Gallery Director Jason Hoelscher. “By this point, just about everything we come across has been so invested with design thinking it can be difficult to notice, like water to a fish. This annual exhibition is always a thrill to see, as it reminds us of all the work that goes into effective design, offering a glimpse of what these emerging designers have been up to so far, while suggesting what they will be doing in years to come.”
