Project Summary
This poster was created to promote a new course offered by the American Council on Education (ACM) titled Civic Dialogue, Democracy, and the Arts. The class connects students from Rutgers University and the University of Warsaw, focusing on civic engagement through artistic expression across cultural contexts. The design needed to visually reflect this international collaboration in a way that was clear, compelling, and symbolic.
What I Did
Collaborated with classmates to determine the most essential course details to include (title, description, instructors, and institutions)
Incorporated symbolic elements such as:
• The red, white, and blue of the American flag
• The Polish eagle to represent the international partnership
Refined the design to improve:
• Visual hierarchy
• Focal point
• Balance
• Proportion
Why It Matters
Effectively communicated the course’s purpose and cross-cultural collaboration.
Visually reinforces the partnership between American and Polish students through national symbols.
Demonstrated the power of design to bridge cultural and academic communities.
