SLCC Hosts 2017 AIGA Student Portfolio Review

2017 AIGA Student Portfolio Review
Saturday, April 15, 2017

Salt Lake Community College
South City Campus Atrium
1575 South State Street
Salt Lake City, UT 84115

“The Annual AIGA Student Portfolio Review is designed to serve undergraduate students from Utah State University, Weber State, University of Utah, Salt Lake Community College, Utah Valley University, Brigham Young University and Southern Utah University.” ~ AIGA SLC

AIGA Salt Lake City’s Student Portfolio Review is always a great event for students to gain advice, insight and industry information from SLC professional designers as well as design and illustration faculty from Utah colleges.

SLCC Visual Art & Design Department Associate Professor Kerry Gonzales and Assistant Professor Virag White, both in the Graphic Design program, joined their advanced students at this year’s event. Both said they were very proud of the nine VAD Graphic Design students who showed their portfolios and were reviewed by creative directors and faculty from other institutions.

Many of our Graphic Design students are already working as interns or graphic designers in various companies throughout the Wasatch Front. We thank them for their wonderful work and wish them the very best in the future!

Kudos to Anastasiya, Jordan, Lacee, Donovan, Karli, Isabella, Chris, Jennifer and Lauren!

Hate to call this a contest but… It’s a Contest!

The SLCC Hispanic Latino Student Association is in need of a professional logo. The current logo, according to students, is something that they just can not identify with.

Options are a good thing and that is where you, design/art students come in. You get to contribute your personal take on the logo; redesign, reinterpret  and so on. This could be a great portfolio piece if your logo is selected. Still interested? I know you are!
Here are some of the characteristics of the Hispanic culture and students, as provided by Claudia Gutierrez-SanchezAcademic Scheduling & Curriculum Department Co-Advisor, Hispanic/Latino Student Association, that might help with the redesign

-Colorful (but sometimes there is a need to print in grayscale)
-Modern
-Professional
-Versatile

this logo will be printed and/or embroidered on t-shirt/hoodies/other apparel such as folders, mugs, etc. So it can’t be too complicated or we will have problems with printing or designing.
Optional if they want to represent the Latin American countries. This includes all of Central and South American countries in addition to Mexico (which is part of North America)

This logo also needs to have a condensed thumbnail version so we it can fit as a thumbnail on FB or flyers. Below is our website and facebook account for your reference.

Lastly, the student organization is almost completed self-funded by students so they are not allotted a budget but as an appreciation they would like to offer the student with the winning design a $50 VISA gift card.

Claudia Gutierrez-Sanchez would like to thank you all in advance for even considering.

Good luck and have fun.
