The history of my undergrad experience at Notre Dame College is embodied in this timeless art design that I am excited and honored to have been a part of. It started out as an idea like many designs and pushed to being a marketable business venture that included the help of designers. I along with two other student designers was selected to take part in this historical journey. As a result, we now co-exist with our college in a visual way. And I speak on behalf of the entire design team, “We wouldn’t want to have it any other way.”
Everything from the schools’ primary color palette to the synergy of type and image plays a strategic part in its execution. Long days and nights were spent re-editing and debating on whether or not a particular word should be used or removed in order to help the flow of the body copy, whether or not an image fit the overall theme, or even just image placement in relation to type and space. Production dates were changed numerous times to accommodate for edits and alterations and that served the end result best. We did our best chasing down perfect. All that effort contributed to the success and establishment of the Heritage Wall Timeline that now holds a special place on the walls of Notre Dame College as well as hold a special place in my memory that will forever remain a story to be told.

This Dadaist inspired poster came about from the radical nature of this nihilistic art movement. What drew me most to this particular time in art history was its relevance to my generation today, bold, confrontational, and rebellious towards what they believed to be the corrupt, that basically being everything, government, people, and art itself.
