Opening Reception for “Contrast: 2012 Senior Graphic Design Exhibition”
An annual exhibition of work from the portfolios of graduating Graphic Design seniors from Rutgers University, Newark Campus. They write: “In the past four years we have been taught that CONTRAST is pushing the hardest black on the softest whites. Contrast is juxtaposing telescopic distance with microscopic detail, it's setting up big against small, smooth against rough, crisp focus against a soft blur, it is even about looking at the type and creating serif to sans serif mutual conflicts. Being a class of diverse races we view contrast as more than just a part of design but also an idea. Contrast is the push and pull of criticism, support, and the exchanging of experiences and inspirations. We, the senior class of 2012, invite and welcome you to CONTRAST- A Senior Graphic Design Exhibition.”

Graphic Designers in this exhibition are: Aciel Bernal, Phil da Silva, Alan De Risi, Amber Evans, Samer Fouad, Alex Lee Kelly, James King, Jacqueline Kinney, Coco Kim, Curtis Labow, Run Kung Law, Sara McGowan, Ismael Sanchez. Hanyi Shen, Bruno Zatta
