WEST LIBERTY, W.Va., June 23, 2025–West Liberty University’s Graphic Design students are again seeking nonprofits to partner with them for pro bono work to meet marketing and design needs.
“Our seniors would love to work with your nonprofit to assist with marketing and graphic design work. Some of the needs we can handle include website design, marketing brochures, logo design or other brand-related items,” said Sarah Davis, professor of Visual Communication in the Department of Media and Visual Arts.
“It is invaluable for our students to gain real-world experience and work with actual clients. We are grateful for those who ask for our help, and it’s easy to request our service by visiting the online form found here.”
To be considered for this program, the Google form must be completed by Monday, July 14, 2025. Organizations will be notified by Monday, July 28, 2025, whether a project has been selected. The scope of selected projects must allow for completion by Friday, Dec. 5, 2025.
Davis serves as an advisor for the students who participate in the Fall 2025 ART 483 Visual Communication Studio course. This class simulates the professional design studio experience and helps the students prepare for their professional careers.
Possible projects include branding systems, logo design, social media graphics, brochures, newsletters, book covers, slide presentations, motion graphics, signage, and websites.
As a result of directly working with clients and team members, students provide strategically based, cost-effective, and visually compelling solutions.
Potential roles for students to work in include a combination of the following, but not exclusively: team leader, account executive, art director, creative director, production manager, conceptual designer, graphic designer, researcher, design strategist, production artist, photographer, illustrator, typographer, or logo designer.
Successful recent partnerships include rebranding and website design for The Children’s Home of Wheeling, rebranding and promotional items for Oglebay Institute’s Towngate Theatre, and a mascot design, brochures, and photo library for Cornerstone Christian Academy.
