Cleveland Institute of Art Students Help Paper the Rock Hall

Rock Hall posters
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Twenty-three students from the Cleveland Institute of Art designed posters for this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Saturday.

Students at the Cleveland Institute of Art have turned a class art project into a free ticket to tomorrow鈥檚 .

About two-dozen artists at the school created posters for this year鈥檚 inductions, which will take place Saturday night.

Xani Dean (IG) is a senior illustration major who says assignments like this one provide real-world experience working for a well-known client and that鈥檚 valuable as she plans her career path. For the Rock Hall project, the diverse Class of 2021 provided the inspiration for her design.

鈥淕enre-wise, everyone from Kraftwerk to Jay-Z and Tina Turner is getting inducted. It鈥檚 such a wide range of genres, which I think is so cool. And I wanted to have each of them represented in some way,鈥 she said.

One of Dean鈥檚 instructors in the illustration program, Jamey Christoph, says he hopes the project continues again next year to offer more real-world experience for CIA students.

鈥淗ow artists interpret music visually was so important, I think, for the kids. I think you see it in the collection of work. When we crafted these projects, we want to leave them as open-ended as possible to see how students respond to the specs of the job, which are practical. Oftentimes, when you're working with a client, it comes down to just some loose direction in terms of subject matter. On something like this, it would just keep it open to let them interpret the 2021 inductees."

All 23 students received complimentary tickets to this year鈥檚 induction ceremony, and their posters are on view at the Rock Hall itself. Limited edition prints of the posters, which are each done in a different style, .
