Each year our graphic design seniors work with start-up companies and non-profit clients on open-ended, strategic-based design problems. This client work provides opportunities for the design students to engage in meaningful context-based and user-centered research.
This year’s clients provided creative opportunities for our students to offer effective and thoughtful design solutions. The three clients include: The Sprout Fund, Rorus Inc. (of AlphaLab Gear) and the La Roche College Education Department. All are invited to attend the presentation of final design solutions to our exciting line-up of clients.
November 17 from 6:30-8:30PM in the Ryan Room, located in the Zappala College Center Square
