“We wanted not necessarily just Ohio University apparel, but something that would represent the area and remind people of their time spent in Athens,” explains Christopher Riley (BSC ’22), Bobcat Store manager and jury member.
The three winners not only had their T-shirt designs put on sale by The Bobcat Store, but also earned a scholarship award and gained valuable hands-on experience. What do the Athens County Courthouse clock tower, the paw-paw, and a geometric rendering of College Green all have in common? All will take center stage on a new student-designed T-shirt collection for The Bobcat Store, following the first-ever Ohio University Alumni Association Student Design Competition.Īs part of a collaboration with the College of Fine Arts, this juried competition called on 20 students from professor JP Rhea’s graphic design course to submit designs celebrating the Southeast Ohio region.
