Adding some color to the local community, banners designed by Sheri Guo ’22 have been installed around Collegetown, following an April 2019 competition hosted by the Collegetown Small Business Alliance. Guo, an information science major and game design minor, came up with her banner design for the competition, whose aim was to support economic vitality in Collegetown and to beautify the neighborhood, according to a University press release. The winning design had to showcase the identity of Collegetown and focus on Cornell students, small businesses and the city. Guo has many years of experience working in design, but her artistic outlet is usually through game design, so this project was out of her comfort zone, she explained. The Collegetown Business Alliance was founded in 2013 by three business owners, Natalie Sweeney of Natalia’s Boutique, Marty Johnson of Uncle Marty’s Shipping Office and Annie Quach of the Hai Hong Restaurant.
