Preparing New Professionals for Success
A group of hardworking students from Lorain County JVS’s Digital Media Arts program contributed creatively to the annual report cover for Buckeye Bancshares, Inc., and Buckeye Community Bank this spring. Students demonstrated excellent technical skills, information design and conceptual thinking throughout the project.
Students learned about corporate annual reports and the importance of brand identity and messaging under the guidance and leadership of LCJVS’ Greg Wing and Buckeye’s Heather Boone. The design by Yennessa Otero, a senior from Amherst, was chosen for this year’s Buckeye annual report cover.
Class members have had the opportunity to work on a real-world graphic design project as part of the course’s curriculum for the past two school years. By developing unique solutions to design problems and generating new ideas, the students can express their creativity and innovation.
“The creativity and skill displayed by the Lorain County JVS students are impressive. We thank them for their efforts and appreciate the work of Greg Wing and Heather Boone in leading the project,” Buckeye President and CEO Ben Norton. “By partnering with these future professionals, we hope to provide them with real-world experience and feedback that will assist them in preparing for future success.”
The assignment allowed students to learn about working with clients and demonstrate strong communication when presenting their designs and revising their work based on feedback. It was evident that the students were proficient with professional software tools, such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as their ability to prioritize tasks, manage workloads and meet deadlines.
