Generate, SCAD’s professor-led 24-hour art competition, opens the third floor of SCAD Atlanta to students this Friday for its 10th annual event!
What began a decade ago with 14 sequential art students challenged to complete a comic book in 24 hours has grown into a multi-disciplinary event encompassing nine challenges and more than 200 SCAD students.
“This event really speaks to the spirit of SCAD and its dedication to collaboration,” says associate dean Denise Smith. “Challenges are not restricted by major and students are encouraged to get outside of their comfort zone. The students dedicate 24 hours to collaborating and resolving design problems. The result is always amazing work.”
Generate will be the first big SCAD Atlanta event for many first-year students, and highly anticipated by returning Bees. This year’s competition categories include animation, drawing, illustration, interactive design and game development, motion media, sequential art, visual effects and writing.
Graphic design events will include the Atlanta premiere of the documentary DESIGN DISRUPTORS. For more information, visit the SCAD Atlanta Graphic Design blog.
Generate begins promptly at 10 a.m. on Friday, September 30, concluding the following morning at 10 a.m. Students are asked to bring their SCAD Card and art supplies. Coffee and snacks will be provided. There will be prizes and giveaways for those who complete their challenge.
