West Liberty University’s Graphic Design seniors invite non-profits to partner with them to meet marketing and design needs.
“Our seniors are looking for local non-profits that may need assistance on marketing and graphic design tasks. It might be a website, or flyer, logo or other brand related tools. It is so beneficial for our students to gain real world experience and work with actual clients. We are grateful for those who ask for our help and it’s easy to do online,” said Sarah Davis, associate professor of Graphic Design in the Department of Media and Visual Arts.
The deadline to complete the online form to request design assistance is fast approaching on July 15. Selected organizations will be notified shortly after that notifying them that their project has been chosen for student work. (See link below.)

Davis serves as an advisor for the students who participate in the Visual Communication Design studio course for Fall 2022, which is the class that simulates professional design studio experience and helps the students get ready for their professional careers.
Possible projects may include branding systems, logo design and application, social media graphics, information design, brochures, book covers, high-end presentations, app design, animation, video, signage, and websites.
As a result of directly working with clients and team members, students provide strategically based, cost-effective, and visually compelling solutions.
Potential roles for students to work in include a combination of the following but not exclusively: team leader, account executive, art director, creative director, production manager, conceptual designer, graphic designer, researcher, design strategist, production artist, photographer, illustrator, typographer, or logo designer.
Successful recent partnerships include working with The Children’s Home of Wheeling, The Strand Theatre in Moundsville, or Purpose Inc. in Wheeling.
