Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Submit a Request?
If you need work done for an SGA-recognized club or organization, Student Life program, or Davis Center affiliate, our team can help you for FREE.

What Programs are Used?
Our graphic designers primarily use the Adobe Creative Suite, with a strong emphasis on Illustrator to realize marketing projects. Students work on a mix of Student Life owned computers and their personal devices and have access to additional technology (iPads, Cameras, Tablets, etc) as needed.
What Skills Does the Team Have?
Designers must have (at least) a demonstrated knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and a strong understanding of visual and information hierarchy. Additional graphic design knowledge is a plus. Most of student life graphic designers are artists in some form or another and enjoy illustrating even outside their project list.
