The exhibit is free and open to the public.The exhibit, “Coming Soon,” will feature a culmination of Edwards’ graphic design work during her time atOuachita. Beginning with pieces from her freshman year and ending with pieces recently finished, theexhibit will walk viewers through the growth and development Edwards has experienced the past fouryears.Edwards, a senior graphic design major from Fordyce, Ark., said she is especially excited for viewers tosee that progression in her work. “There’s a beginning and end from freshman year on. … As a whole, Iwant everybody to see how much I’ve grown,” she said. “I hope everyone likes it.”Works that will be featured in the exhibit include flyers and posters she has created to promotebusinesses and events in the Arkadelphia area in addition to projects completed for class that reflect hervaried interest such as music and horror movies.Edwards said her exhibit will be presented in a way that mimics how the work would appear in the realworld rather than a typical gallery display.“My exhibit is my attempt at trying to show who I am as a person and an artist,” she said. The exhibit “isgoing to be really different from the average gallery exhibit. I consider myself to be different and evenweird at times, and I feel that everything I do should reflect that.”Edwards said she began to develop her interest in graphic design during her high school EAST(Environmental and Spatial Technology) class. In high school, “I got a chance to do some programs forHomecoming. … Doing that and having deadlines was just an adrenaline rush for me,” she said. “Fromthere, I was like, yeah, this is what I need to do.”She said she credits her Ouachita professors for helping her turn her interest into a future career.Assistant Professor of Art and Design Ferris Williams “has a lot of different graphic design work under hisbelt other than just being professor,” Edwards noted, “so I’ve learned a lot from him just how to be in thereal world.”Gallery hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays.
