CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE STUDENT’S DESIGN CHOSEN FOR SNAPCHAT GEOFILTER

By Shannon Turgeon ‘17/Champlain College News

Most students in the area who use the popular picture messaging app Snapchat have probably seen the new geofilter design that was created specifically for Burlington, Vt. The filter, which can be accessed by swiping right after taking a picture, features green and white mountains in the left hand corner of the screen with the words “BTV.” However, what many people don’t know is that the geofilter was designed by Daniel Salerno, who is a senior Graphic Design and Digital Media student at Champlain College.

Teen T-Shirt Design Competition: And the Winners Are…

After days of viewing the entries and hours of narrowing the field, we have chosen four winners of the Teen T-Shirt Design Competition inspired by the special exhibition American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity. (See my previous article for more information about the contest.) Together with Aimee Dixon, a fellow Museum educator, I first unpacked, sorted, and reviewed the design boards, with the help of other educators, event coordinators, and members of the Education staff. The American Woman curators, Andrew Bolton and Harold Koda, then selected the styles they felt best embodied the artistic vision of the exhibition. We then passed the designs to Patrick Robinson, head designer of Gap, and Hamish Bowles ofVogue magazine, who spent quite a long time debating, reviewing, and deciding which entries were the most fashion savvy.
