In our attempt to connect with our current and former students in the most successful ways, we’ve started a new Facebook Group called “University of Arkansas Visual Design.” All former and present UA Visual Design students are encouraged to join the group and discuss projects, show work for feedback, provide intuitive design process or software tips, post competition ‘Calls for Entry’ and connect on employment opportunities.
