We had 107 students registered, ranging from freshmen eager to become part of the CD family to seniors who will act as team leaders, as well as 8 alumni to create designs for 23 local nonprofits. In addition, 8 faculty members oversaw the design teams.<\/p>\n<p>The event began with breakfast and sign-in at 8 AM, followed by the client kickoff at 9 AM. Students then brainstormed, sketched, and created final designs with production ready files for the clients, culminating in a presentation for the clients at 9 PM.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the design projects ranged from logos for a cat rescue organization to a social media campaign aiming to reach the Guinness World Record for the largest soda tab collection by an organization. As always, our goal is to foster a sense of creating for the greater good. It\u2019s crucial for our designers to engage with the community, and this event offers them the invaluable opportunity to work with real clients, gaining hands-on experience that enhances their learning \u2014 all while having a bit of fun!<\/p>\n<p>Designathon Team:<\/p>\n<p>Professor Vicki Meloney<br \/>\nProfessor Summer Doll-Myers<br \/>\nOffice Manager Kathy Traylor<br \/>\nSenior CD student organizer Lein Nguyen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, February 21st, the Communication Design program (Art &amp; Design Department) hosted its 17th annual Designathon from 8 AM to 10 PM, our largest event of the year.
