Southern Miss Design

Welcome Back Designers! We're super excited about all the creative possibilities this year holds. And if you can't tell from our graphic, that also includes our new Risograph!

Be sure to stop buy faculty offices if you have questions about classes, schedules, campus, etc. Stay tuned as classes get underway for new posts featuring project, faculty, and student spotlights and scenes of the every day happenings in the George Hurst Building.

Of course...

Summer is full of fun patterns, you just have to slow down enough to notice them. We hope you've taken time to enjoy some patterns around you this summer.

What is your favorite?

Every texture adds to a story.

Ripples in the water. The texture of sand. The pattern of pool tiles. The surface of an orange peel. Keep your eyes open this summer, you never know what might inspire your next design.

Design Challenge: create a library of 20 textures for use in photoshop and illustrator!

Great designers never stop learning. Need a beach read? We've got you covered.

These design classics are packed with inspiration, practical advice, and fresh perspectives for creatives at every stage.

What are you reading?

Not every project needs a client, or a grade! Make something fun!

Spend some time this summer making something simply because it sounds fun. Explore an unusual format, experiment with new ideas, and let curiosity and experiementation lead the way!

Here's some ideas we've put together. Make one and tag us we might share it!

Summer is full of color!

Poolside blues to citrus oranges and picnic greens to sandy browns.

Design challenge, capture the colors around you and make something! Tag us and we might share it!

Summer classes are done but Summer is still a season of inspiration!

Whether you're chasing sunsets, exploring new places, filling sketchbooks, or simply slowing down, every possible adventure has the potential to spark your next great work!

What's on your summer moodboard? Tag us and we might share it!

All is not quiet in the George Hurst Building. There is still bustling activity as students in Advance Photography and Bookmaking have their first projects well underway! Stay tuned for photos of their finished projects in days to come!
