Advertising & Graphic Design

Eileen Mueller Neill (CCAD 1965) has an exhibition, Imaginaries, at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside’s Fine Arts Gallery.

The Advertising & Graphic Design alumna's exhibition encompasses sculptures made of clay, paper, and other assorted materials, inviting viewers into an imaginary world.

A design company founded by CCAD Advertising & Graphic Design alumni Jen Adrion (CCAD 2008) and Omar Noory (CCAD 2008) was recently featured in two trade publications.

Adrion and Noory started their company, These are Things, in 2010. Their first product design was a map originally created for their personal use. Upon selling the extras online they realized the product's business potential.

CCAD alumni are contributing to the comic scene in Columbus with Nix Comics Quarterly (NCQ).

NCQ is an open submission comic book/magazine with a focus on horror, humor, and garage-punk theme.

Advertising & Graphic Design alumna Krysti Kalkman (CCAD 2010) is passing out supermodel signatures at Victoria’s Secret, but not the kind you might think.

Kalkman is a full-time designer at Victoria’s Secret and was given the task of creating a new font for the store brand.

“When my creative director and art director came to ask if I could design the font I responded with ’Oh ya, sure! Why not?!’ But in my head it was more like ’I can totally do this … right?!’” Kalkman said.

Jen Chapman (CCAD, 2004) and her company Redsnapper Baby & Toddler will be featured in the upcoming issue of HOW design magazine.

Redsnapper Baby & Toddler is a company which provides unique and trendy baby clothing. Chapman and her husband, Rob Chapman, launched the company about 18 months ago.

“After the birth of our first daughter, we realized how easy it was to mis-snap the three snaps on a onesie,” Chapman said.

A Columbus nonprofit organization has a new look, thanks to the design work of a CCAD alumnus.

Anthony M. Nesossis (CCAD 2000) recently completed a rebrand of various materials for The Educational Council, a confederation of 16 public school districts in Franklin County.

An recent article in the Columbus Dispatch spotlighting a local music and arts festival tells the story of how one CCAD alumna left a 20-year design career in pursuit of another successful artistic dream.

Advertising & Graphic Design alumna Wendy Emrey (CCAD 1991) traded commercial design projects for making glass beads and jewelry, which are available in several area galleries.

Advertising & Graphic Design alumnus Gabe Shultz (CCAD 2004) created an experimental multimedia project and music album Day Glow Freaks using only samples from the music of rock band Steely Dan.

Consisting of 12 original songs, Day Glow Freaks is accompanied by a website where listeners can visually explore the composition of each song.

Associate Advertising & Graphic Design alumnus Jon Hair (CCAD 1976-1978) was recently featured in North Carolina’s Our State magazine.

Advertising& Graphic Design alumnus Michael McAteer (CCAD 2001) recently earned his masters in journalism from Marshall University’s W. Page Pitt School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
