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.
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.
122 students participated in Pierre Sadek Foundation contest and 38 of them have been nominated for expressing an explicit message in their drawings.
The Graphic Design program is proud of its senior student Rami Rikka who recently won at BDL Accelerate. Rami had applied with peers from LAU to participate in the hackathon, where teams spent 48 hours working together to build a beta-prototype of a technology-based solution that would disrupt the health and medical sector.
