A great graphic designer is hard to come by, and students in Oakland with a penchant for art, design, advertising, creativity, and communication were given a professional opportunity recently by the Peralta Colleges in collaboration with
the non profit organization ODALC, the Oakland Digital Arts and Literacy Center.

Students entered their designs into the 2011 Inspire Oakland Digital Billboard contest and their masterpieces were judged by a panel of educators, designers, and business people.
