Nicole Pasquarelli Exhibits Artwork in York College's Graphic Design Senior Exhibition

2012 Apr 16

Nicole Pasquarelli of Hawthorne will exhibit a culminating senior project in York College's Graphic Design Senior Exhibition, which will be on display from April 27 to May 28 in York College Galleries. Pasquarelli is the daughter of Tom and Patty Pasquarelli. Pasquarelli's senior project, "Unico", is a handcrafted jewelry line made from cotton twill, black ribbon and various vintage jewelry pieces. She has branded the vintage-inspired necklaces using elements from the jewelry line in her business cards, packaging, and promotional poster series. "Fashion has always been my passion, so when it comes to graphic design, I always try to incorporate it somehow," said Pasquarelli. She will sell her custom jewelry at the senior show.

Graphic design majors present thematically cohesive bodies of work showcasing the skills and techniques they have acquired at the College before leaving to pursue careers as professional artists and designers. The students work collectively during their final semester to refine their creative vision and learn to present themselves and their work in a professional manner. This process culminates with an exhibition of their work and Senior Portfolio Presentations.
