Each of the artists par
ticipating in the show belong to
an organization called
Designers Round Table. The
advisory board asked them to
submit three pieces of art for
the show.
“Many times a graphic ar
tist doesn’t have a chance to
show their work,” said Up
church. Signatures are not on
graphic designs because of the
commercial use. “It’s different
than doing water colors and
sketches; graphic artists have to
get a meaning across; they
have obligations.”
A reception was held in
the Pauling Science Center on
opening night, Jan. 28. About
25 people attended and half of
the artists were available to
discuss their work and answer
questions about graphic
design. The show will be up
