The Art Corridor II of Tarrant County College Southeast is requesting submissions for the 2007 Design Professionals Exhibition to take place February 19 – March 30. The Art Corridor II is a highly visible area of campus. Numerous community members, students, faculty, staff, and guests view exhibitions at this location. Shows are promoted well within the District, the area arts community, and state and local press.

The goal of the exhibition is to introduce different facets of the design field to our art students and facilitate discussion across campus on media and graphic design concepts in the age of instantaneous global communication.

Works to be considered will showcase the design process from a problem’s inception to completion, meeting functional and aesthetic concerns. The exhibition is open to design professionals in the fields of book design, posters, photo illustrations, brand and identity design, packaging, marketing, advertising, environmental design, public service or non profit promotions, and all types of collateral, such as annual reports and brochures. Two-dimensional illustrations of 3-D modeling in game design, virtual reality, and motion graphics are also eligible. Three-dimensional entries may be accepted if they don’t exceed 16” x 16” x 20”. A three-member panel will curate works for exhibition.
