AIGA Ferris Travels to Vegas

Kara Copeland — “Somehow, it all came together. Flights were booked and hotel reservations were made. Thankfully, everything went off without a hitch. We arrived in Vegas wide-eyed and exhilarated to dive into the event experience. Looking back, I was truly passionate about making this opportunity possible for twenty students, including myself. I focused my attention on the design elements of the conference, and it really fed the fire of passion I feel about designing and organizing events. I observed the wayfinding, signage, branding, website, app, and even the presentation. There were even lights on the walls that cast the wall in pink and blue. All of these things contributed to the design system of the event and the thought that went into all of these things blew my mind.”

Rosetta Stone

"Ferris taught me the value of process. It helps facilitate collaboration and validation, which ultimately leads to a product that will make a connection with people." 

Nick Conflitti, UX/UI Designer, CampMinder LLC. , Boulder, CO

how our program works

Throughout our program students are taught to use a 5 phase process. This guides the students to explore multiple ideas to find the best solution. The process includes multiple steps within each phase, however on a project to project basis, things can adjust, because we know in life not every project is the same.
