A MESSAGE FROM THE SENIOR CLASS
As we ascended into college, we soon found ourselves facing a challenging outcome of a global pandemic: online classes. Our class in the Graphic Design program at Drexel started out separated but determined to collaborate. We became close with one another, connecting through Zoom breakout rooms and creating workspaces out of our living rooms and basements. Ready to get our hands dirty, we arrived on campus eager to learn and fascinated by the opportunities. Despite our isolated beginnings, we grew strong together, becoming passionate and clever designers.
The Graphic Design Senior Showcase of the 2024 graduating class spotlights our collective and experimental experience with the design process. From the annotations we made to revise our projects, to the fundamental design principles that have guided us from the start, we celebrate the steps that take us from a small idea to a living design. As our time together is coming to a close, we invite you to celebrate with us!
