The Vancouver Island University Graphic Design graduates are hosting a final exhibition to display their awesome work and have a blast hanging out on campus one last time.
Thursday May 02, 2024
6-8pm
Malaspina Theatre, Building 310
Vancouver Island University
Spending their first year online during the pandemic was a challenge no one expected as they began university, but this year’s designers dug in and stayed on track even as they stayed home, too. It turns out it doesn’t matter where you design, as long as you do.
OMNI means “all” or “universally”, and there’s no better word to describe this year’s grads. Game to take on any challenge, these designers worked to embrace all the possibilities, all the opportunities that design has opened up for them. Not constrained by what’s been done before, these grads are excited to present the creative design work they built during their four years in the Graphic Design program.
Grad show committee members Karigan Diggins, Kaylee Gourley, and Krista Mokry worked with faculty coordinators Kevin Mazutinec and Patrick Foster to develop the event. The students decided that this year’s theme, OMNI, reflected the challenges they faced—and overcame—during their time at VIU. In the creation of this show, the designers all worked to demonstrate their mastery of both form and function, and the results are on display here.
Congratulations to the class of 2024!

What a pleasure to take a moment to celebrate the graduates of 2024.
This show offers a glimpse into your creativity and ingenuity as students of Graphic Design. The skill set you have developed working with our faculty and colleagues is made manifest. The result is a fabulous display of what Graphic Design contributes to our world view and lived experience. I look forward to seeing how you incorporate these skills and ideas as you move beyond VIU.
Congratulations.
