# ‘Unidos’ in Prince George’s County

> Undergrad Leads Hispanic Heritage Month Poster Design

*PXL 20220712 154826761 1920x1080 — Jamison Heckrotte ’26 and Maybelline Herrera were two of the Prince George’s County students who took part in a MNCPPC and Pyramid Atlantic Art Center program to design the county’s official Hispanic Heritage Month poster. Studio art major Jeanette Bolden ’22 was a co-leader of the class, teaching them the principles and techniques of designing for screen printing.*

From the *monja blanca* (white nun orchid) of Guatemala to the *yigüirro*, the thrush that’s the national bird of Costa Rica, to the geometric dahlias beloved in Mexico, this year’s official Hispanic Heritage Month poster for Prince George’s County celebrates the natural—and human—beauty of Hispanic countries and cultures.

A University of Maryland undergraduate student, Jeanette Bolden ’22, co-led the design process that led to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (MNCPPC) poster, teaching middle and high school students from across the county the principles and techniques of the screen-printing process they used to create the piece.
