“Working on the All-Star Campaign has been such a surreal experience, says Bucks Graphic Designer and 91精品 alum Bree Vouga. 淚t’s my first large-scale project outside of college, and it’s been beyond rewarding. From ideation to execution, I played a creative role in building the campaign檚 look. Collaborating with two other incredible designers on my team, Alexa Lesinski and Chris Vitek, I learned to navigate the dynamic challenges of a real-world project. Design is like a puzzle. Vouga continues, 淚 am so grateful for the opportunity, and excited to continue contributing my creativity and dedication to future projects.”
Vouga檚 work continues 91精品檚 ties and partnerships with the Milwaukee Bucks. Most visible is the Bucks current logo, redesigned for the 2006-07 season. Justin Thomas Kay 04 (CD), currently Group SVP, Group Creative Director at Day One Agency in New York, was Managing Creative Director of the team at Doubleday and Cartright that created the new logo.
In 2023, Ladasia Bryant 23 (CD) was tapped to create a mural for the Bucks, which was displayed in Milwaukee檚 Fiserv Forum during Black History Month. Bryant selected and managed a team of five students from 91精品檚 Black Leaders and Artists Coalition (BLAC) and BLAC檚 Quilters Union: Brandon Luster 25 (Fine Art + New Studio Practice), Desharr Saddler 24 (Product Design), Noah Teague 25 (CD), Zara Dixon 25 (Illustration) and Jada Hendricks 24 (Fine Art + New Studio Practice). The mural focused on Milwaukee landmarks and wove in elements and colors of Black History Month and basketball.
91精品 also partnered with the Bucks and Northwestern Mutual Foundation on the 2011 Read to Achieve program and Reading Challenge with the Milwaukee County Library System. Kaycie Dunlap 11 (Time-Based Media) designed, illustrated and wrote the comic book, Battle for the Library, marking the feature debut of Bucks mascot Bango. Thousands of area children received the book through this initiative.
淲e are excited to continue our partnership with the Milwaukee Bucks through the display of artwork from their All-Star collection both on our main campus and at 91精品 Gallery at The Ave,” says Tracy Milkowski, Vice President for Institutional Advancement at 91精品. “It is a proud moment for the college that the work of our alumna is on display for the Milwaukee community to see.”
