And the beat goes on.

So, we are moving quickly toward mid-quarter and the Graphic Design Club is busier than ever!

This quarter we are focusing on extending our knowledge base, and so much has been happening!

For starters, we just visited Wexley School for Girls this week, and were offered a tour and the opportunity to annoy them with every question we could imagine - and what an incredible experience!

For February we have Jesse Ledoux coming to speak with us (WOOT!) on February 9th, a trip to corporate Starbucks to tour their facilities on the 18th, and a potential trip to Portland on March 4th to visit the Art Institute of Portland!

We have also knocked on some doors and and have the opportunity to do an incredible mural this summer on the wall of the building across the street of the South Campus - sketches and ideas are bouncing around as I write! I can't WAIT to see what you all have planned!

Remember, Club this quarter is Wednesdays at 4:30pm in room #704 - Be there or be square!

BRRRAAAIINNNNZZZZZ....

...are filled with visions of sugarplums, relatives and napping. But school is still lurking around the corner....(insert theme music from Jaws)

A big welcome to the newbies, welcome back to us old hands, a huge "hope your time off was awesome and relaxing and rejuvenating!" to you all!


This quarter there a few things you need to know ahead of time:

First of all, GD Club is on Wednesdays this quarter; still in room #704. Make sure to spread the word and invite the new Graphic Designers to Club!

Secondly, last quarter we had several discussions about doing a mural in the school and now we need to decide what that's going to look like and where we're going to do it! We've got two weeks before our first meeting (January 18th), so break out those sketchbooks, hop onto Photoshop, and let me see what you've got. Remember, it needs to look awesome and also it should represent the Graphic Design Department! I know it's hard with holiday pie still muddling in the belly, but let's kick start those brain cells! :D

And lastly, we've got BIG stuff planned for this quarter - be there or be...um...well...square. :)

-Jesse
