The Art & Graphic Design Department at the American University of Kuwait (AUK) launched its Fall 2023 Capstone Design Exhibition which took place at the AUK Exhibition Center. The exhibition offered senior students an opportunity to display their creative work, which covered a range of themes, including social and cultural awareness, corporate identity, and entrepreneurship.

The exhibition ran for one week and participating students were evaluated by industry experts based on their creativity and presentation, their ability to conduct and use graphic design research strategy effectively, and their ability to plan and implement a compelling graphic design display.

The Chair of the Art & Graphic Design Department, Professor William Andersen, talked about the exhibition and what it represents, “We are proud to showcase the final projects of our graduating graphic design majors. Their capstone projects bring together all the knowledge and skills they have acquired at AUK and highlights their talent and creativity.”

Held on a biannual basis, the Capstone Design Exhibition brings together visitors from the field of graphic design, including experts from graphic design studios, publishing houses, film and video production companies, advertising, and multimedia firms.

Associate professor of graphic design and professor of the capstone course, Maryam Hosseinnia, stated,”The diversity of projects influenced from personal stories and life circumstances is what makes this exhibition unique and special. Each student’s journey, their values, passion, and motivation are expressed in their work, a unique combination of what it takes to be a graphic designer.”

AUK’s Graphic Design Capstone Exhibition presents an opportunity for senior students to fully incorporate their design strengths and learning into a focused and extended process of research and visual expression.
