BFA Graphic Design students present:

You are invited to attend
The U.H. BFA Design Student
Portfolio Sessions and Public Viewing

The Senior BFA graphic design students are preparing to begin a new phase of their life and enter the professional world. To prepare for this, we are holding the AIGA Student Portfolio Sessions and Public Viewing.

Calling all professional designers! The most nerve-wracking part of starting a career for a graduating senior BFA design student is undoubtably the interview. We believe that the best way to be prepared is to practice. This year we’ve chosen a different approach to prepare our portfolios. The senior BFA design students at UH Manoa welcome the more casual and personal, AIGA Student Portfolio Sessions. We have gathered our best design work and are looking to get feedback from the professional community. We would like to invite Oahu’s professional designers to participate in mock interview sessions with our senior BFA design students. If you are a professional designer on Oahu, and would like to participate in these sessions, we would be honored to get your feedback and advice.

Designer Dialogue: Jeff Matz
Co-Founder, Lure Design
The Art of The Poster



Jeff Matz is a founding partner of Lure Design in Orlando, Florida, a design studio working in corporate communications, branding, packaging, book design and poster design. He's a graduate of Ringling School of Art and Design. Jeff worked in a few advertising agencies before opening Lure with partner, Paul Mastriani, in 1998.

Being a music fan (aren't we all?) and hack guitar player himself (aren't we all?), Jeff began combining his love of music and design creating rock posters for a local promoter around 1996. At that time, these posters were digital or offset prints. A handful were screen printed. When Lure moved into its loft-like space in 2003 they set up a DIY screen printing shop and Jeff began screen printing his show posters. Jeff's work has been published in publications such as Novum, Communication Arts, Print, Paste and a number of books including The Art of Modern Rock, New Vintage Type, Graphis Posters Annuals, Swag-Art Rock of the 90s and Rockport’s One Color Graphics. 

Jeff currently sits on the board of AIGA Orlando and has served Chapter President. He has also been invited to judge several awards shows and publications, including the 2005 Communication Arts Design Annual.
