Exit Ahead Exhibition Statement

Exit Ahead is a vibrant showcase celebrating the innovative work of the University of Georgia’s 2025 graduating graphic designers, collectively known as the Fast Truckers. Our name reflects both a happy accident from an auto-correction of “Fast Trackers” and the unique, accelerated journey we have shared on our path to graduation. As we reflect on our creative development, we also look forward to the road ahead. This show highlights the power of visual storytelling to address meaningful cultural and societal issues. Each project is a product of deep personal significance, driven by thorough research and creative exploration. Through the lenses of advocacy, collaboration, inclusion, and translation, these works spark conversation, invite reflection, and inspire change.
