Students Create Campaign for Jewish Community Center

Graphic Design students in the B.A. in Art + Design program in the Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts at Halmos College of Arts and Sciences recently created a campaign for the David Posnack Jewish Community Center’s (JCC) grant-funded Hire-Ability project.

Through the course ARTS 4500: Professional Print Design, students expanded their professional portfolios with logo designs, food truck wraps and menus, while creating opportunities for adults with special needs. Students also gained experience pitching their concepts to a client, and those who participated were compensated with payments and recognition in the final Hire-Ability materials.

“Our graphic design students had a chance to participate in a project emulating a real-life situation, where a client has a briefing with specifics,” said Kolos Schumy, assistant professor of art and design, who taught the course. “The project with the David Posnack JCC was an ideal, lifelike experience for our students, paving the way for them becoming professional and seasoned graphic artists.”
