If you’re an advertising design student, having your work shown at the The One Club 18th Annual Student Exhibition is more than a singular honor.  This year the student exhibition is showcasing the best advertising design projects submitted by students from 30 schools from 15 cities and 5 countries. Selected for display were 30 print advertising campaigns and 20 motion graphics projects created by FIT students from Advertising Design and the Media Design Club.

The event is part of The One Club’s Creative Week, which includes educational conferences, the Student-Client Pitch and various award shows. This year, the events were held at Eyebeam,  NYC’s prestigious art and technology center.

“The vibe was right and seeing all of the best ad design work in one room from schools across the country was inspirational,”  said BFA student Stephen Weisbrot,  whose digital work appeared on  one of FIT’s eight computers ” It took this theory of advertising that I’ve been studying and exploring at FIT and brought it into a real life application.”

“The response was outstanding,” said Assistant Professor Birgit Schwarz-Hickey for AD.FIT was one of the only colleges showing digital work, which is expected by the industry after graduation.” – Assistant Professor Birgit Schwarz-Hickey

30 print advertising campaigns and 20 motion graphics projects from FIT were selected for the exhibition.

FIT student work for  The One Club 18th Annual Student Exhibition was organized and curated by professors Joe Stalluppi, Birgit Schwarz-Hickey and C. J. Yeh.

Dean Arbuckle accepted a surprise pizza delivery from Prof. C.J.Yeh of the Communication Design Dept. today. This was no ordinary pizza. No extra cheese, mushrooms or pepperoni. But the ingredients were purely artisan-made!

“Dear Joanne,” the delivery slip read. “Please come join us at the opening of this exciting exhibition! Thursday from 5-8 PM @ Red Bull Space.”
Inside the “custom made to your order” pizza box lay 40 collectible mini posters by the designers of the REPURPOSE Show. All are invited and welcome!
