Designer Mashup!
Meet Ian Clark
I’m a graphic designer and visual artist interested in exploring contemporary culture through design, imagery, and experimentation. My work looks at how visuals can communicate ideas around identity, culture, and the way we see the world today. I received my BFA in Graphic Design from Georgia State University, where I developed a hands-on foundation in branding, editorial, motion, and visual communication while continuing to build my own artistic practice. I’m especially inspired by the work of graphic designer Hassan Rahim and artist Arthur Jafa, both of whom have influenced the way I think about imagery, culture, and creating work that feels relevant to the present.
These ideas shaped my approach to designing the visual identity for the Centre Film Festival. I wanted the design to feel connected to the history and character of central Pennsylvania while still feeling fresh and contemporary. I drew inspiration from vintage patents and incorporated them as illustrations, along with architectural details from the awning of the historic Rowland Theatre in Philipsburg, PA and the shape of Mount Nittany. Bringing these references together helped create a visual identity that feels rooted in its surroundings while still having its own personality.

Meet Analí Jaramillo
I am a self-taught illustrator with a background in graphic design. What prevails in my artistic production is the thematic search and the construction of a personal narrative, wherethe feminine experience of “being” intersects with the body, its gender expression, and the psychological repercussions—individual and collective—that this entails. For this year’s poster, we focused on reimagining a historical painting located in the Rowland Theatre, which features a female figure as a muse of the arts, while also embracing the art nouveau elements found in the same venue.
