This is not your typical grad show! Each graduate will be presenting the one project of which he or she is particularly proud in back-to-back three minute presentations. Followed by a festive networking social where the students' work will be on display and where you can get to know them a bit more depth about their work over light food and drink.

The project presentations will include:
Brand Identity
iPad Publishing
Online and Mobile Experiences
Motion Design
Come and meet these promising designers before they are snatched up by industry.
