I created double page spreads talking about some of the peers that I had classes with at Ole Miss. I chose two peers that I felt had great backstories, and had work that was rooted in something deeper than just creating work for fun.
Dennis Foster is from the Delta, the Deep South and the smallest of small towns. He went to Ole Miss to become an engineer, then graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design. I dove into his story of why he chose art and how his art is different than anything else I've seen.
Angel Morgan is from outside of Memphis, TN and is actually Filipino. With Angel, a lot of her work is about her heritage and her culture. I talked about how her heritage has affected her art and how she switched from having an emphasis in graphic design, to having an emphasis in print making.
