Sacramento City College’s Graphic Communication department will host its Year End Showcase themed “Heroes and Villains” Monday, May 20, according to department professor Don Button.
“This is a chance for graphic communication students to showcase their best work from the fall 2012 and spring 2013 semester,” Button said.
According to graphic communication professor Robyn Waxman, Y.E.S. is not a showcase of general submissions but is specific to the talents of graphic communication students.
“This is not a contest, and only work from the graphic communication department will be accepted,” Waxman said. “There will, however, be a ‘Best in Show’ award.”
While the show is open to the public, Waxman said invitations do go out to specific individuals whose attendance could mean jobs for graphic communication students.
“We have an advisory board, and we invite them,” Waxman said. “They are working professionals in Sacramento and sometimes shop for employees.”
Accordingly, graphic communication major Casey Bagozzi said she is looking forward to Y.E.S. as an opportunity to network with potential employers.
“This show is a celebration of the year,” Bagozzi said. “It’s a chance for all of us to get together and reflect on the past year. It also gives the local industry people a chance to see the work coming out of this department.”
Y.E.S. attendees will enjoy a buffet during the event, which will run from 4–7 p.m. in Cosmetology Building Rooms 108 and 110.
