Cross Connections 2018 International Exhibition of Design & Illustration is a global collaborative project and an invitational exhibition and juried competition. The exhibition was initiated in 2008 and held in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013 in more than ten universities around the world. The exhibition promotes creativity, innovation, and the trends of international visual communication design and aims to foster our design education through active engagement. 

Hosted and curated by School of Art, College of Fine Arts, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), ten higher education institutions from around the world have accepted the invitation to join the exhibition and competition. The Cross Connections 2018 International Exhibition of Design & Illustration, consists of a selection of 96 artworks in a wide range of visual art forms including 80 print-based works and 16 screen based works. They showcase a fusion of cross country, cross culture, cross discipline, and cross conceptual contemporary design. The selected artwork has been curated for exhibition by a professional jury and will be on display in ten institutions of higher education around the world in the Fall of 2018. As the exhibition curator, I designed the poster campaign and all communication materials for the international exhibition at multiple academic venues from around the world. For this alternative brand campaign, I would like to promote the brand of "Cross Connections International" through multiple media and platforms including brand banner, exhibition banners, posters, and web banners.
