​In January I entered Cal High in the 2022 Vans Culture Contest, only 250 schools are selected across the Nation and Cal High was one of those schools! We designed two pairs of shoes, one is to represent "Home Town Pride" and the other is a DIY shoe to honor the late Paul Van Doren, co-founder of Vans. 

We entered our designs on April 14 to be selected into the next round, which is the top 50. I've been holding my breath till today to see if we made it to the top 50. And, guess what? WE MADE THE TOP 50! I'm so excited for our students who worked so hard on the designs.

What I need from you as a community is to get the word out and send the link below for votes! You can vote once a day. The school with the most votes makes it to the next and final round. Voting ends on May 6th.

The winners receive $50,000 for their art department. The three runner-ups receive $15,000 for their art departments. 

Please vote for us. If you want to come down and see the shoes in person they are here in FA 104! I have also attached the entry pictures.

A computer graphic artist, also known as a graphic designer, creates and implements visual designs using photography, animation and illustration for print (advertisements, magazines, newspapers, etc.) and the Internet. In order to work as a graphic artist, you'll need a bachelor's degree in either fine arts or graphic design. Your duties may include developing company logos or websites or creating and adjusting marketing layouts or designs according to your clients' needs. Most of your work will be done using computer graphics software programs (typically the Adobe Creative Suite). 
25 names every graphic designer should know
If you're embarking on a career in graphic design – perhaps by transforming a design internship into a job or sending out a brilliant creative resume or design portfolio – there are some designers that you simply must know about. 
These are the designers who have changed the way graphic design is seen in the contemporary world. They are the mavericks, the thinkers, and those who have made a difference to design.
