[Jazz NCY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lopota-lake-resort) is an up-and-coming designer out of New York City, New York. Her former school, the Art Institute of New York City, put up [posters around campus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campus-beautification) to promote their Midterm Madness Mashup.

Even though they remind me of primate pictures, my campus never had posters as cool as these. Then again, I did not go to an [art school in New York City](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-nyc). Check out more of the Midterm Madness Mashup Posters above, and some of the work featured by Jazz NCY at the link below.
