Students Gain Real-World Insight at Signarama

Students in the Graphic and Communication Design program recently toured Signarama, a leading local business specializing in custom signage and visual communication.

The visit offered students a behind-the-scenes look at how professional designers transform client ideas into tangible products, from digital concept development to printing, fabrication, and installation. The Signarama team walked students through their creative and production processes, sharing valuable advice and answering questions about industry expectations and career paths.

The experience is directly tied to the curriculum students study in class, reinforcing lessons in design software, client communication, and teamwork. By observing professionals in action, students witnessed how creativity, precision, and collaboration converge in a fast-paced business environment.

OSTC Northwest thanks the Signarama team for opening their doors and inspiring the next generation of designers and visual communicators. Experiences like these help bridge the gap between classroom learning and career readiness.
