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.
