CAZENOVIA, NY (03/22/2011)(readMedia)-- The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall will host the 2011 Visual Communications Senior Exhibition, titled, "FINAL PROOF: Designed, Sealed & Delivered." The show runs from Friday, April 1 through Monday, April 18, with an artist's reception scheduled for Thursday, April 14, from 4 to 6 p.m.

Among the student designers is Shannon Plunkett, a senior from Rome, N.Y. She says of her work, "I approach design as if I were writing a novel. I set up the plot so that the viewer is intrigued and wants to turn the page. I believe every step of a design process is like every page in a book - necessary to the success of the story. I portray a strong descriptive dialogue through clean, modern styles, bold visuals and strong concepts. So grab a cup of coffee (or tea), sit down and enjoy!"

Laurie Selleck, associate professor of visual communications, says, "More than 20 students will exhibit work they feel represents themselves as visual communicators. The show will be an excellent sampling of what the Visual Communications Program at Cazenovia College has to offer in the way of educating students for their future careers in graphic design, web/interactive design, advertising design, and illustration/animation."

The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall is located on the corner of Sullivan and Seminary streets, one block from Albany Street (Route 20). Exhibitions and receptions at the gallery are free and open to the public. The building is handicap accessible.
