2025 Student Designed T-Shirt

Meet SAIC’s 2025 T-Shirt Design Contest Winner, Yukun (Chloe) Ba. Her design was inspired by SAIC's overnight culture. Ba is studying to receive her MFA in Visual Communication and expected to graduate in 2026.  "The front reads “Critique Day,” while the back features a scanned overnight pass—a familiar object for anyone who’s worked through the night.  To me, it represents passion, focus, and the quiet bond between students. By turning it into a wearable design, I wanted to honor the long nights, creative breakthroughs, and relentless energy that shape the SAIC experience."
