RINGLING COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
Originally from Croatia, Petar Pirizovic is a senior, majoring in graphic design and minoring in art history. Petar has developed a strong foundation for his creative processes and skills through the joining of research, strategy, and conceptual thinking. Petar’s love for art history and paper as a medium led him to become a passionate book designer, letterpress printer, and bookbinder. When he is not designing, Petar is actively involved in the community, participates in many student clubs, and is a committee member for Ringling’s well known alternative book fair, Paper Jam. He also loves cooking and going to the Farmer’s market.
