Spring Capstone Graphic Design Exhibition 2012

The Art & Graphic Design Program (GDES) at AUK inaugurated its Senior Capstone Exhibition on May 14th. The event was held in the Multipurpose Room and the Auditorium at the AUK Salmiya Campus. The opening ceremony was attended by the AUK President, Dr. Winfred Thompson, and saw high turnout from AUK students, faculty, parents, and media.

During the exhibition, the participating senior students showcased and presented their graduation projects to visitors, who were impressed by the creativity of the designs and concepts. The themes of the exhibition included identity designs, business concepts, awareness projects, child health projects, among others. Social activism campaigns to re-brand identity were the core essence of this year's exhibition.

Under the supervision of Professor Maryam Hosseinnia, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at AUK, the Senior Graphic Design Exhibition showcases students capstone projects, an outcome of a semester-long self-initiated topic implemented through diverse applications. The course is largely self-directed and students are expected to select and investigate a topic using design as a means to present their findings.

Participating students are graded based on the creativity and presentation of their projects, which reflect their ability to conduct and use graphic design research strategy effectively and efficiently; their ability to design problem solving solutions in 2D and 3D formats; and their ability to plan and implement a compelling graphic design exhibition.
