The Michael Jordan of Graphic Design

Graphic Design isn't the most popular strand in e-Comm but it does generate some of the most creative and successful people. Michael Zager has always been interested in the arts and wanted to continue that tradition.

"e-Comm is so laid back, it takes up two hours of my day, and it's what I like to do"

These last four years have helped Michael redefine himself and get inspiration from the other students. In his last year as a high schooler he worked on the e-Comm campaign for the 8th grade open house by making a poster that made him utilize both his photography pieces along with his skills in graphic design. as well as design an identity package for himself to get his brand out.

Michael has also had many submissions into e-Magine (a communications festival/awards show) including his most recent work "Woman in the Woods." This work won 1st place in digital manipulative photography in 2015.

This piece incorporated both photography and elements of design that he really enjoyed.

"I mainly focus my stuff on minimalism and black and white (designs)."

Michael hopes to become a Graphic Designer after graduating from the University of Kansas with a degree in Visual Communications and Marketing and eventually becoming a Creative Director.

"My greatest fear would be my job and specialties becoming irrelevant in the future and then my degree wouldn't mean anything."
