The Art & Design thesis exhibition is the culmination of visual arts studies at USF. In 2023, thesis candidates explored a variety of topics: revolutionary pamphlet design, manga inspired illustration and storytelling, the reevaluation of the seminal author Jane Austin, the extent an idea (sadness) can be interpreted through working in different mediums, and the branding of a Mexican fusion restaurant.

Images of the 2023 exhibition will be posted the weekend of 4/28/23. Please swing back through to take a look!
