RINGLING COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
Avery Frost is a senior from Tallahassee FL, currently majoring in Graphic Design and minoring in Business of Art and Design at Ringling College. She has been exploring her creative side since she was younger, through both art and music. She chose a path in graphic design because of its unique ability to communicate with people and solve problems. She enjoys exploring a variety of mediums and styles, most notably Letterpress, which led her to the opportunity to intern at Nashville’s Hatch Show Print. Combining both traditional and digital design mediums helps her push the boundaries of her design process and discover new skills along the way. In her free time, you can find her working on a letterpress project or looking for vinyl records at antique stores.
WHAT ARE YOU READING, LISTENING TO, WATCHING?
I usually listen to ’60s folk, ’70s soft rock, and ’80s new wave, but recently my friends have been introducing me to new international artists like Joost Klein and Käärijä. I am also really excited about Ethel Cain’s new album that’s coming out soon!
DO YOU, OR DO YOU PLAN TO, DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES, I.E., DESIGN FOR GOOD?
This year, I started designing for my college’s voting organization, Ringling Votes. I designed a full social media campaign, promotional posters, and hosted a letterpress printing event to promote early voting. This made me realize the importance of designing for causes, and I would love to continue designing for voter advocacy.
DO YOU FEEL THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS PREPARED YOU TO SEARCH FOR AND FIND A JOB?
Yes, by being surrounded by so many talented creatives at Ringling College, I’ve learned how to express my ideas more effectively and have gained a deeper appreciation for the power of collaboration. Going to Ringling College has definitely prepared me for the future, and I can’t wait to see what it holds.
