Fall 2019 - United States Bill of Rights Typographic Broadsides UNF Graphic Design and Digital Media students were challenged to produce two typographic broadsides of the Bill of Rights: a traditional version designed in black and white and a contemporary or experimental version that could use up to four spot colors. The broadsides could incorporate only typographic elements (letters, numbers, rules, glyphs or ornaments); no illustrative or photographic imagery. The students' designs present diverse commentaries on the Bill of Rights, touching on themes of reverence, nostalgia, tension, oppression, distortion, progress, evolution, misinterpretation, commodification, selectivity, clarity and obscurity. The works were created during the fall 2018 course Graphic Design and Digital Media Publication Design with Professors Blake Coglianese and Beth Nabi. |

This exhibition was the result of students' work created during the Special Topics Class Edition: Printing and Publishing, Summer 2017 and the premiere of the UNF Art and Design Fine Arts Print Publishing Initiative.

Students chose a variety of techniques for their individual projects and learned about the ethics of creating state and color proofing, editioning, curating and signing a print. The course also addressed professional practices of publishing, distributing and marketing. Taught by Professor Sheila Goloborotko, Printmaking. The exhibit featured work from guest artist Lorrie Fredette and student artists Chauntavia Cannon, Maxine R. Collazo, Dylan Bauer, Ishanna Ible, Jacqui Manabat, Redeem Pettaway, Carlos M.
