Abstract
Undergraduate students majoring in fine arts with a concentration in graphic design collaborated with undergraduate students majoring in mathematics in order to create posters about famous mathematicians. The project addressed the communication skills, creative skills, and collaboration skills of both majors. The activities were incorporated into a senior graphic design class for fine arts students and into a capstone mathematics project class for students majoring in mathematics. Nine posters were selected for detailed descriptions.
