The goal of BBCx365 is to bridge the knowledge gap between global current events and the American public. Academy of Art University student Johnny Selman does this by creating a more visually interesting vehicle for the new. He designed a poster a day for 365 days in reaction to a headline on the BBC news website and update the BBCx365 website everyday with the poster and the accompanying news story. Instructor: Phil Hamlett.

I will design a poster a day for 365 days in reaction to a headline on the BBC news website. By creating posters based on the news stories I hope to compel my audience to look into the article and eventually stir a larger interest in world news with the American public.
