Cassidy Demkov

“Watching the last of the butterflies before everything freezes and winter arrives. I dread this day more than any other day of the year. I go to bed with a beautiful,colorful garden and wake up to frozen flowers that quickly turn black. Saying goodbye to my garden until Spring is one of the hardest things for me mentally. I put so much work into my garden that seeing it all die so quickly is a bit sad.” 🖤

What’s Inktober?

Anyone can do Inktober, just pick up a pen and start drawing.”

In 2010, Salt Lake Community College Visual Art & Design Graphic Design students Nadya Bratt & Casey Kim created INK as a club for anyone interested in Graphic Design. After their graduation from SLCC, INK evolved into an online source for those passionate about the visual communication industry by offering access to news, resources, and networking.

VAD Associate Professor Kerry Gonzáles and caretaker for INK, is proud to share the talents and creative directions taken by Alumni & Friends of INK in this – the third annual – INK, an Alumni Art & Design Group Show.

Each piece showcases the design process from initial research and ideas to a completed product. And most importantly… how a good foundation in graphic design is used in a multitude of careers.
