Congrats all of the PRP students who participated in this year’s Louisville Ad Fed High School Marketing Challenge. In all, PRP had three student-led teams who created comprehensive advertising campaigns on the topic of Social Media, addressing the dangers of posting private information online. All three teams from PRP won awards, competing against public and private schools across the district.

Shown here are [Left to Right] Rebecca Wayne, Trevor Gibson, Morgan Tilton, Malik Alleyne-Jones, and Taylor Gray, of PRP Creative, who won “Best Implementation” for their in-school poster campaign, and second place overall in the challenge. Their team’s campaign included a logo, branding guide, posters, billboards, social media formats, a 30 second PSA, and a proposal to create and launch a social media monitoring App.

Third Place was awarded to PRP Team 1, [Team Members: Lauren Jett, Hannah Baldauf, Joey Decker and Parker Shouse], for their campaign, P4: People Promoting Positive Profiles. The award for Best Video PSA went to PRP Team 2 [Team Members: Matt Dawson, Abby Anderson and Katlynn Wathen].

PRP Design Studio students recently collaborated with Ky Museum of Art & Craft to reproduce posters and other collateral from last year’s Reach Out Stay Strong campaign–to be included in a “Advertising Design” themed Mini Museum. Students recreated posters from the campaign, drafted a design brief, printed contact sheets from the campaign photo shoot, and recreated a sketchbook showing the team’s brainstorming and design process. Last year’s Ad Fed High School Marketing Challenge theme was teen depression awareness.

KMAC’s Mobile Museum Program gives teachers and students the opportunity to explore Kentucky art right in the classroom. When a teacher orders a Mobile Museum, they get a suitcase packed with 8-12 real artworks, plus lesson plans, books, dvds, and other resources. KMAC offers 22 Mobile Museums covering 13 different themes.

PRP Visual Art and Photography Students traveled to the IMA to tour the blockbuster exhibition MATISSE: A Life in Color, Masterworks from the Baltimore Museum. After their tour, students also saw masterpieces in the IMA’s permanent collection by Cézanne, Gaughin, Van Gogh, Georgia O’Keefe, Picasso, Rembrandt and others. Favorites among students were the Asian artworks on exhibit and the Contemporary Gallery on the fourth floor of the museum.

Design Studio students Douglas Beck, Joseph Morrison, and Nicholas Bolton received 2nd place for their College & Career Poster Series. The posters featured Sports Celebrities, along with their stats, including GPA and ACT scores and included the tagline: “Are You College and Career Ready?” The event was held at the Muhammad Ali Center, in conjunction with the Louisville International Festival of Film.

Fellow PRP Students Drew Duke and Katie Hack also won first place for Documentary Film; and Andrea Compton, Laresha Williams, and Peyton Hawkes won awards for Visual Art Poster [1st, 2nd and 3rd place].
