Live Oaks — Digital Arts & Design

Landor Associates

Students from the Digital Arts & Design program at Live Oaks are partnering with the creative professionals at Landor & Associates to explore "Create! Don't Hate," a youth mentoring program developed by Adobe and Worldstudio. This initiative pairs professional design mentors with local high school students to complete a design challenge based on the theme of tolerance. Participating students will be challenged to use their creative talents and design-thinking skills to have voice and make a real difference in their community.

Each team will develop a unique message and design concept with their mentors. Teams will create a public billboard design and a second creative piece of their choice based on their team's message. Final projects will be presented to the executive creative team at Landor and put on public display throughout the community
