Colorado State University Department of Art and Art History

Internship Spotlight! Meet Jessica Le, a senior at CSU majoring in graphic design. She’s currently interning with Dividend Management LLC in their Creative Design department. She found her internship through Indeed, and it has been guiding her through what design and marketing look like in different areas of business. In this role, she is creating work for someone else rather than herself, which has been teaching her what design looks like to other people who aren’t in the field. This internship has helped her prepare for post-graduation work by giving her the experience to see what design work looks like on a professional scale, and by teaching her how she can continue to incorporate that it into her own work.

Several students in the Department of Art and Art History’s design program received recognition in the Graphis New Talent competition, an international competition highlighting emerging student work in design, advertising, photography, and illustration.

Awarded projects pictured in order.

Lee Sissom — Silver Award for Hallow Modular Typeface

Sam Wheeler — Silver Award for The Trial – Franz Kafka

Gwen Yeiter — Honorable Mention for Cycle Through Time – 50 Years at the CSU Visual Arts Building

Selected work will appear in the upcoming Graphis New Talent annual publication.

Have you been to the Sideshow Gallery in the LSC recently? Featuring a rotating body of student work throughout the year, the current exhibition is titled “The Hidden Process” and features works that are not the final product. From sketches and drafts to test prints, mistakes, and material studies, this show demonstrates the unseen work that is imperative to creating the final product. On display now until May 1st in the Lory Student Center! Thanks for curating and installing this show.
Featured artists include: Will Baker, Ella Banham, Sophia Jacobs, Bug Karplus, Vivian Pham, and Asiye Uctuk.

behind the scenes of photo 3 critique! for our second project this semester, the prompt was “beyond the wall, sculptural.” students made wearable art, photo books, and sculptural works that made for a very interactive and engaging critique environment!
