Congratulations to our 8 graphic design students and alumni (Shada Fadlalah, Rami Rikka, Hind India Arida, Jamie Sue Melki, Cathy Semaan, Mario AbouSleiman, Karim Shehimi and Jana Assaad) who showcased their projects at the Shift Forward exhibition, and were awarded a year long membership to the Lebanese Graphic Design Syndicate.
Standing out isn’t an every-day happening. Reaching high expectations isn’t an every-day happening. Raising one’s homeland and university name isn’t an every-day happening.
Karim Shehimi’s poster was mostly centered around libel and lies. The emergence of fake news and the phenomena of how trump was able to get to power intrigued him. Shehimi’s main inspiration was Donald Trump’s body language.
Our own fashion design student, Nour Daher, was awarded with the Special Stone award by the Italian design company: Origin, Passion, and Beliefs. The competition was about fashion entrepreneurship where Nour admitted her portfolio along 4000 applicants, 28 were elected and 7 prizes were given.
Leo Burnet’s chairman Farid Chehab hands the award to India Arida, Rami Rikka, Cherine Karout, Shada fadlallah and Mario Abou Sleiman during the graphic design end of year exhibition.
Kinda: My inspiration was my mom.
Karine: My inspiration was my little sister's school lunch box.
We are all still not over “Safar”, our illustration instructor Salim Azzam’s latest fashion collection. A small yet powerful fashion project which ignites love from the first sight has taken this storyteller to a new level of success.
