Christina O'Connell is a senior from Moline, Ill., majoring in graphic design and studio art.

"I have really enjoyed exploring the similarities and differences between graphic design and art and knew for my senior project that I wanted to showcase both. Creating design systems and then figuring out how to implement consistency across a variety of outlets is a fun puzzle I enjoy putting together, so with Squiggle Squaggle, I’ve created a cohesive brand system along with the products that live within that brand."

I immerse myself in the magic of shaping Earth’s elements into vessels that transcend mere functionality. My passion lies in creating from my bare hands, inventing surface design where eccentricity thrives and my imagination feels boundless. I explore human facial features with bright colors, bold lines, and shapes, as an expression of my mind."

"For my senior inquiry, I chose football as my main subject to work on. I am inspired by the football posters from the ‘70s because the warm colors portray nostalgic feelings within my audience.
