Student Creates Cover Art Dynasty from staff reports Geneva Hodge, an eighth-grade student at Vernon Johns Junior High School, is on an artist roll. Her artwork has been chosen four years in a row to grace the cover of the Design An Ad contest. Hodge, who first participated in the Design An Ad in the fifth grade, says that her class was given the opportunity to design the cover for the Design An Ad publication. Other second to eighth grade classes within several schools in the Tri-Cities area were given specific businesses, such as Colonial Honda or Strosnider Chevrolet, to design an ad for. The business then chose the ad they liked best to be represented in the publication. Hodge says she was excited to win the first and second time, but says the third
time was when she realized they must really like her artwork. “I literally busted out crying when I saw it,” Hodge said. Hodge says she gets her inspiration from a variety of places. She is currently working on her fourth cover, which was automatically given to her because it is her last year that she is able to participate. “We know it’s very competitive,” said Nicole Bell, a spokewwoman for Petersburg Public Schools. “We are very proud of her.” Hodge says she has applied to the Appomattox Regional Governor’s School for her freshman year where she plans to continue theater and art. Hodge has a few words of wisdom for any student who participates in the Design An Ad contest in the future: “Just be original and let your pen fly.”
