Fashion Student needs Magazine layout....

Hello All,

So the Fashion Marketing Bachelor students have a magazine writing class and at some point will be looking for some one to design and layout their articles. I was contacted by there department director and asked if any of the GD club students would be willing to help. I told her to have the students contact me and I would let the club members know of the opportunity. This may be a good fit for editorial layout portfolio II requirements. I have the first student requesting this work.
Her name is Sydney Chavez and she can be contacted via sydneychavez@gmail.com. I believe most of the students will have both the writing and may also provide some photos for the layouts.

BLVD Gallery Presents "Good v. Evil"

A Group Show December 14, 2007 – February 2, 2008
Artist Reception Friday, December 14 6pm - 10pm
BLVD Gallery 2316 2nd ave Seattle, WA 98121
http://www.blvdart.com

BLVD Gallery is proud to present “Good v. Evil”, A group show featuring work by some of the Northwests finest illustrators. As much a sociological experiment as an artshow, Artists were asked to make 2 pieces one representing Good the other, of course, Evil. What will be the preference? Will we see all of the evil snatched up in minutes, while the good languishes? Possibly the age old question of “What is Good or Evil?” will be raised. Either way with immeasurable help from artist Jamie Burton, BLVD will be filled with some of the most humorous, original, and truly fine examples of the burgeoning community of illustrators here in the NW.

Featuring work by: Jamie Burton, Rick Garland, Todd Lovering, Memo Diaz, Jason Zayas, Rich Miller, Rich Werner, Karin Madan, Anton Bogaty, Bryan Mandronico, Charlie Lagrecca, Augie Pagan, Son Duong, Lawrence Ruelos, Brandon Graham, Martin Ontiveros, Tom Dougherty, Tim Swope, Bart Kaufman, Paul Whitehead, Joe Kresoja, Scott Wiener, James Ma, Rick Klu, Randy Briley, Kevin Neireiter, Dev Madan, Gene Blakefield, Mike Haney, Aaron Mckinney

Rainy Dawg Radio needs...Our help??????

So,

Not sure how many of you made it to the meeting last week. We ate pizza and had a good time. One subject that was brought up was that Liz Pfriem ewhspfrieme@yahoo.com who knows me from volunteering with the Vera Project works for UW's radio station. They cannot get any of their fellow design/art students to do poster work for them. She asked if I knew anyone, I told her I would pass the information along. So, if you want to design some posters for them, email Liz at the address above and let her know. It would be awesome to see some sweet AiS GDC members' designs floating around UW.
