This is my entry for the 2019 NISOD Student Graphic Design Contest

Suggested Theme and Style Guidelines
We are looking for artwork with interesting, fun, bold, fresh, colorful, original, and modern images, yet which honors the legacy of NISOD’s International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence. Keep in mind that the winning artwork will become the 2020 Conference Program front cover, and must also be easily applicable to advertising, brochures, and other applications. If you choose to use community and technical college educators in an illustrated format, our preferences are faculty members in classroom settings. No recognizable students, faculty, administrators, and staff are permitted. 

Elements That Must Be Included in the Design
     •   NISOD’s name and logo
     •   “International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence”
     •   “May 23-May 26, 2020”

What NOT to Include
     •   No recognizable images of community and technical college students, faculty, 
         administrators, and staff.
     •   No stock images or clip art, except the NISOD logo.
