UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Three Stuckeman School graphic design students in the College of Arts and Architecture were recognized for their work in the 2022 AIGA Baltimore Flux Student Design Competition.
A nationwide student design competition, Flux annually celebrates the best creative work produced each year by undergraduate and graduate students. Entries are selected by a jury of leading design professionals and are showcased both in a gallery exhibition and online. Awards are given in seven categories: identity, packaging, poster, publication, social impact design, user experience/user interface (UX/UI) and video/motion graphics.
For the 2022 Flux competition, 631 entries were received with the creative jury recognizing 205 designs with awards and honors.
Taylor Gunnells, a fourth-year graphic design student, was honored in the user experience/user interface category. She designed her Flux submission last year in two different courses with Ryan Russell, associate professor of graphic design: GD 301: Experience Design and GD 303: Applied Experience Design.
Gunnells developed Chill, a WatchOS app designed to show users their anxiety-related patterns. Users can enter a brief description of how they’re feeling into the app. The data visualizations appear in daily, weekly, monthly and annual views so the users can track patterns and note what is triggering anxiety.
