He poured himself into his painting and drawing but could never find the motivation to stick with it. However, during his first semester at a neighboring community college, he happened upon the LCC Graphics Program, leading him to where he is today. He knew he wanted to apply but decided to complete his general education classes where he was before applying to LCC to explore his affection for graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">He said he has always been creative, but a core memory for him occurred during his high school career at Spring Creek High School when he took a journalism class. During his senior year, he was tasked with an editing position where he headed up the yearbook cover. This is where his passion for designing took its roots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Daniels double majored in Graphic Arts &amp; Imaging Technology and Advertising &amp; Graphic Design. He held a 3.9 grade point average and graduated in May. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time at LCC stating, \u201cI love being able to go into the classroom, create my design and follow it through till the end in the print shop. Getting to see my work made into a physical product is rewarding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">He was recently awarded the $2,000 multi-year merit-based Treadway Scholarship from the Printing Industry of the Carolinas (PICA). One of the primary focuses of the PICA organization is to target community colleges in the Carolinas in hopes of supporting students and their colleges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">He said receiving this scholarship was an honor, but the true honor was winning the top collegiate award for his digital printing and packaging design of an interactive 3D structural marketing piece this semester. This award is sponsored by NCPCO, a packaging company based in Sparta, NC. It comes with a $500 scholarship and a $500 donation supporting the LCC Graphics Program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cI recommend this program for anyone interested in anything creative-based,\u201d Daniels said. This program is amazing because I can take my time, take a break, and come back to make any changes or fix any mistakes I have made. It is something that does not frustrate me like other creative outlets have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">He plans to take a gap year to hone his skills before stepping into the working world. He feels that his experience at LCC has prepared him exceptionally well for stepping into this new phase of life, and he is eager to take on the challenges that are coming ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Cailyn Kennedy Jonah Daniels could never find an artistic outlet that stuck with him, that is until he discovered the Graphics Department at Lenoir Community College.
