CBI Students Learn From Top Jordan Brand Designers
Student Leadership Network is proud to collaborate with partners who align with our mission in supporting students in postsecondary persistence and success. Our longtime partners at Jordan Brand show an exceptional commitment to the community through several programs and initiatives that our students get to take advantage of each year.
One of these programs is the Jordan Brand Wings Virtual Design Studio which helps accelerate young people’s journey towards a creative education and career.
Over the course of the six-week program, students across the country have a chance to work directly with some of the top design experts at Jordan Brand and learn about their end-to-end creative process.
The program includes professional art training including topics such as color theory, rule of thirds, and art foundations. During the program, students also get hands-on experience with creating or enhancing their design portfolios.
This year, six of our CollegeBound Initative (CBI) students participated in the third virtual offering of this program. Our CBI students collaborated on a hoodie design that illustrates NYC pride, an inspirational Michael Jordan quote, and Jordan Brand heritage. One of the participants, Angeles, a senior at TYWLS East Harlem, enjoyed the experience of working with a team on the project. “My favorite part was collaborating with the other artists on my team. It was cool to work on something together with talented people my age and from my city.”
Congratulations to each of our CBI students who were selected to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
