American Advertising Awards

Inland Empire Addy Awards Gala, Mission Inn

Art and Design majors entered graphic design, illustration and photography in the 2019 Annual Study Advertising Awards and won a total of 11 bronze, silver and gold awards. Dept Chair Terrill Thomas is the principle creative for t13media.com, winning a bronze award for motion graphics, NISD Counseling Brand Story and a gold award for the Art + Design logo and neon sign – PLAY.

Thomas: ‘Connecting students to the professional worlds of business and design is a critical strength of the Art + Design program. I am thankful for the Katchamakoff Endowment that financially assists in helping students participate in design competitions. This is the first year that we’ve had sophomores win in a competition traditionally designed for junior and senior majors. Attending both the Student Awards Ceremony and the Professional Gala Dinner with the students was an unforgettable experience. This is the best way to connect students to local design studios and advertising agencies.’

It was not only an opportunity to network with design agencies from the I.E,, but also a chance to celebrate the impressive work of my peers and of students from other universities.

As a first time ADDY attendee, it was extremely inspiring seeing what other schools and businesses have been working on during the past year and getting inspiration for future projects. Winning silver for my photography was amazing and I really appreciated the support from my peers and the organization. I definitely plan on submitting work next year! – Blake

The addy award banquet was a very good experience in regards to attending an awards ceremony for both professionals and students, and also for submitting our work into a show/exhibition. The submission process took a lot longer than we thought but it was worth it to get that experience for the future. The awards banquet was also good for a general experience on how an awards ceremony could go. It was interesting to see other student and professional work and see where my peers and I compared. I look forward to submitting more work for next year! – Brigitta

OC CARES Hosts a Thank You Luncheon for Art + Design Students

Each year students in the Web Design class provide design services for local non-profit organizations as their service-learning. This year the class partnered with OC CARES, an organization formed to help support other charities in Orange County. Students this year created a documentary video, motion graphics, print design, and web design services. The OC CARES board hosted a thank you luncheon in Newport Beach for the students and design professor Terrill Thomas. “Service Learning provides a critical bridge in facilitating students journey from the classroom to the working design world. I am proud that our students were able to deliver professional print design, motion graphics, and video services to help OC CARES communicate their message.” – Terrill Thomas, Art + Design Department, Chair

REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE
“As a student, there aren’t many opportunities to obtain real-world experience between assignments and exams. Being able to work with OC Cares during service learning provides this much-needed experience by allowing students to interact with professionals in an environment that fosters growth. There is no better way to learn than by doing.” – Alefa Afalava

“Working with OC Cares for service learning was a great chance to experience how an actual client process would work. It gave us students real-world application and a benefitted both us and the foundation greatly. I’m glad this program is a requirement for our degree. This experience taught us about actual career paths we can follow when we graduate.”
