BELMONT UNIVERSITY
Anna Maack is a senior Design Communications BFA student at Belmont University. She loves music of all kinds and loves attending concerts for her favorite artists in Nashville. Anna has been working toward her dream of being a graphic designer since the age of 11, when she began making custom designs for her friends on her family’s computer. She found a specific love for typography after developing an unhealthy obsession for fonts from an early age, and used this obsession to stem a love of hand lettering, which is another one of her passions. After graduation, she aims to find a career in branding, packaging, or layout design. Anna aims to synthesize the beauty of simplicity with the complexity of maximalism, and seeks to do so in her art.
