KCAI T-Shirt Contest

Through our AIGA student group, we've been conducting a t-shirt design contest to be professionally printed and sold in our art store. Today, with the popular vote of the AIGA student group, we've narrowed it down to three. Jamie Gray (faculty advisor), Ed Rodriguez (art store manager), Ed's assistant, and I will be selecting the final design for print to be sold next semester. I'll be posting the winner sometime in the next couple of weeks, but I thought you guys would like to see the pool we'll be choosing from.

Without further ado, and in no particular order:



Designer: Lindsey Southwood


Designer: Ramzy Masri


Designer: Tina Gordzica

And for the runner up...

Designer: Kristy Tillman

Pink Tasers?!

Haha! Check out this new C2 Taser Design. I was wondering what you guys thought about it. I'm personally opposed to such a design as it creates a demographic that wasn't already there to begin with. For the individuals I think they're targeting (females) or those who find pink attractive, how do you feel about holding a pink taser when you're about to send someone into an electrical seizure? I was just curious, and thought I'd ask y'all.

BR Studio Tour


















AIGA Kansas City presents a unique opportunity to tour the studio of the legendary Bernstein-Rein.


See how great design can thrive under the larger umbrella of an established ad agency and how those sides all compliment each other in our modern multi-channel landscape. Hang out with some of the best in the biz.

Could be an inspiring event. They are not your typical ad firm. Hope to see you there. Cost is $5 for student members. Sign up HERE to reserve your space. Visit the new BR's website
