Shout to sophomore Wyatt Weaver, Lead Graphic Designer for this year's Senior Basketball Vinyl Banners.

Students in Digital Imaging 2 utilize their skills to produce a variety of projects. Thank you to GHS All Sports Boosters for trusting Riverside Designs, simulated workplace classroom, to design and print the 2025-2026 vinyl banners for Senior Athletes. Allison Horne provides the photography. To produce the banners, students collaboratively contribute to the design, load and print the appropriate vinyl material, and install metal grommets. Digital Imaging 2 students (grades 10-12) experiment with roles and tasks along with developing their skills learning Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Express, and Canva.
