“I have an extremely flexible style and fast turn arounds,” said Alyssa Fierro, a Graphic Designer and Illustrator. “Whether you’re looking for a crisp, clean letterhead or a bold, colorful flyer, I’m the designer you’re looking for!”

Fierro’s exhibit is made up of several posters that describe the most endangered turtle and tortoise species in the world.  

"The best part about being a graphic designer is the excitement bringing my client’s design ideas to life," said Clebens Demosthenes. "As a graphic designer, the works created for my clients grabs the attention of anyone who sees it. My job is to help your brand and your ideas visually shine above any others."

“When it comes to both subject and style, I take inspiration from painters of various art movements: classicism has inspired me to use a more academic painting style while cubism and futurism inspire the abstract compositions I senior art show mcdevittcompose in attempt to capture the figure’s energy and suggest a passage of time,” McDevitt said.   

Ian Garrison, a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, explains how he uses space and color in his designs to tell a story and how it sets him apart from others.
