Promotional poster and banner showcased around Jamestown Community College and the local community.
The Jamestown Community College Student Art and Design Exhibition is held annually at The Weeks Gallery in Jamestown, New York, USA. Over four hundred people attend the exhbition each year.
The poster and banner were designed with the idea of shifting importance to the student in mind, referencing and drawing inspiration from Michelangelo’s ‘The Creation of Adam.’ The illustration swapped out the hand of Adam with a hand holding a pencil, representing art students at Jamestown Community College. The concept was to give power to art students that may often be overlooked and overshadowed within the educational system.
