Program Overview
The purpose of a business-education partnership is to link clients who
need design support with talented visual communications students.
Included in this presentation are some of the successful winning
student designs, and projects from class assignments.
In a biz-ed partnership, senior students will engage in a competition
and the client will choose the winning design. Clients are under no
obligation to use the design, though in the past, all have done so. The
winning student designer(s) will get to add the client to their resume,
have a client piece for their portfolio, receive a $50 honorarium
payment from the client, and will be entitled to use the client as a job
reference. Non-winning students will have the experience of working
with a client in a design studio simulation, and have a piece created
for a client in their portfolio. It’s a win-win situation with benefits for all
involved.
Local clients may attend meetings in person, and national and
international clients participate via teleconferencing.
