MetroLines Poetry Program gets new look thanks to art studentsBy Liam Otten The MetroLines Poetry Program, which brings the work of St. Louis-area poets to the region's mass transit systems, is getting a new look this year thanks to two senior graphic communications majors from the University's School of Art. Erin Morrison and Bonita Handayani --working as part of Create Studio, the school's student-run graphic design shop --have created new designs for the MetroLines posters, which appear in MetroLink cars and Bi-State buses throughout the area. The pair created four different designs, which relate to one another through a similar use of bright colors and strong, curvilinear graphics. |
