Design Crossing International Boundaries

Collaboration Studio is a seminar at New Design School that gives students the opportunity to work with real clients on real design projects. The 12-week seminar covers written and verbal business communication through design briefs and proposal writing. Next, the student gets to develop ideas and share them with other students in the class. These ideas then become the technical challenges that students solve with the instructor to learn software to create their vision.

Shirt designs by Taylor Long and Lisa Stancil.

In the summer 2009 studio students used Adobe Illustrator to develop t-shirt art that would be used by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guyana and Volunteer Youth Corp in Guyana, South America. The goals were to create art that would identify volunteers in their work settings and to draw people into the network of volunteers. Several rounds of revising and eliminating of weaker concepts and designs occurred before final designs were sent to the client. In this first set of designs sent to the client, they found two that fit their needs. The VYC design chosen was created by Taylor Long and the tree with words was created by Lisa Stancil. Both students were in their first year of the certificate program in graphic design at New Design School. They can now add a project to their portfolio that was more than assignment but actually exists in the international community.
