The graphic design major's award-winning work was a poster advertising an exhibit about the Holocaust for the Musée Internationale de la Croix-Rouge. The exhibit ran from Oct. 10 to Jan. 20 in the State University Plaza Gallery in Albany, NY.
A second and third student art exhibition are to be held, one this semester and one this summer.
Graphic Design Professor Paul Bowers selected Denise's work, a 39-inch by 28-inch inkjet print poster entitled, "Remembering the Loss," for the contest.
"The studio problem challenged her to develop an answer with related graphic imagery that communicated information that normally would be complex and difficult to grasp," he said. "Her job was to make the complex manageable, the abstract concrete and the difficult logical.
Denise's sensitive understanding of type and image enabled her to develop an outstanding answer to this problem. That's why it was chosen to be submitted to the SUNY wide exhibit in Albany."
Denise was one of several SUNY students who won the "Best of Show" prize, her and the other contest winners work will be featured in a "Best of Show" exhibit in Albany this summer.
