AUK Graphic Design Students Among Winners of Typography Day 2019 Poster Competition

Senior Graphic Design students Marah Al-Kazak and Salma Mohammad were chosen as one of the winners of a typography competition hosted by the IDC School of Design (IDC), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Bombay) Mumbai, India.

The competition entitled, "Dance of Typography" called for international students and professionals alike to design a poster using one letter, one word, many words, or even a paragraph composed of words.

Out of 1000 entries, their poster was chosen by a blind jury, and is one of 40 winners printed and displayed in an exhibition during the Typography Workshop and Conference at the IDC School of Design (IDC) in Mumbai, India.

This marks the sixth year that students in the GDES 421-Typography III class have participated in this poster competition and have made it onto the winners list.

The Art and Graphic Design Department degree program offers a balance of theory and practice in the art and science of visual communication. The program cultivates cultural and aesthetic sensibilities while emphasizing critical thinking, analysis and problem-solving through the teaching of design history, methodology and technologies in order to produce designers capable of meaningful design in a diverse global community.
