Students' Design Work Met With Adulation in Annual Exhibit

Tuesday, May 2, 2017

The pencil points the way to designs aplenty. Book jackets (on the display stand) and skateboard branding and illustrations (on the wall) by Todd R. Surkovich offer intricate details. Guests listen to a brief introduction by Thomas C. Heffner, assistant dean of sciences, humanities and visual communications. The 17 celebrated graphic designers pose for a group photo in the gallery. Around 200 people joined in the artistic celebration of “Design: 2017” at its opening reception Friday. Seventeen graphic design seniors presented their portfolios to appreciative family, friends, the college community and other admirers who filled The Gallery at Penn College. The annual exhibition gives students a chance to present their work in marketing, branding and design. The works will be on display through May 12. Exhibit hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fridays, and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. (The gallery will be closed May 7, as well as Saturdays and Mondays.)
