The visual centerpiece of the undergraduate recruitment program is a series of original illustrations by French illustrator Serge Bloch who is internationally-known for the wit, inventiveness and accessibility of his drawings. In his simple yet sophisticated illustrations, he combines photographs of everyday objects with whimsical line drawings: glazed doughnuts double as car wheels, spiders serve as moustaches, and televisions make lovely eyeglasses for a fresh and trendy take on contemporary life.

Bloch, who studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg, told Johns Hopkins Magazine that he enjoys making readers smile. "I try to do humorous work," he says. "It's a work of modest art."

Bloch's work has been published in numerous commercial publications including Time magazine, AARP Magazine, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and The Chicago Tribune.  His work also makes frequent appearances in  academic periodicals including:
