Designing Your Way
This designer, Karl Kwasny, really knows how to do things his way. In designing, he creates his own world utilizing design and illustration. There is nothing generic about his work. And for all you out there who say, “having a style is wack,” with clients like Coca Cola, Hershey’s, and Target, their check books beg to differ.

I was told that my talent and desires would be best honed in the Illustration major. I said, “OK” with no argument.
