Artist Statement

For the design of this year’s undergraduate catalog cover, I wanted to create a piece that would represent the diversity and multitude of backgrounds represented by the student body at NKU. Each pathway shown in the design eventually converges to the NKU monogram at the center of the piece. These pathways illustrate each student’s journey through the University, and the endless opportunities that NKU offers to each unique student.

The catalog cover design and the online catalog banner graphic were designed by Nick under the art direction of Professor Julie Mader-Meersman as an independent project.
