Fall 2022 Virtual Showcases

The Digital Media Arts students in Winter and Spring partnered with Be:Seattle, Camp Kindness Counts, Eastside Pathways, Humanize Homelessness, Imagine Housing, and the Mercer Island Healthy Youth Initiative, to apply their new design skills to creating infographics. The agencies will utilize one or more of these in their communications with the community. Through the quarter, the students had to reflect on how their creations would support these agencies and their missions, which deal with what it means to have a home and live healthy lives. Check out the creations below!
