Things might look a little wonky for a short while.

Bill Frakes Event Feb 20th

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Attention all JMC majors!

I’m offering 4 points (that’s two quizzes) for everyone from my classes that attend this event. It is frankly a must-see for all JMC majors. And keep an eye on the blog for an announcement regarding a workshop with Bill and Laura on Wednesday – which would also be a killer opportunity for everyone.

Advancements in digital technologies have dramatically altered the way journalists and creative professionals work, opening up a new world of convergent mass media. 
Join Pulitzer Prize winning Photographer Bill Frakes of Sports Illustrated for a seminar covering the new standard tools of convergence media and the future of mass communication.

Friday, Feb 20th
4:30 – 7:00 Seminar
(Apple, Joel Davies, Bill Frakes, Laura Heald)

Pre-registered attendees are eligible to win door prizes!

Hey Design Majors!

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

I’m clearing out the design majors listserv at Creighton, and I’ll be adding your email addresses to the list when I get a chance. I’ll be using this list to send out notices of Internships and other opportunities, so it’s good to be on the list.

If you are not on the list, and want to be added, you should email my Creighton account.

That is all.

Once upon a time

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Actually, this is not a real post. This is just me typing away to generate enough text to really mess with the layout of this little endeavor. Someday, far off into the future, actual content will appear in this space.

In the meantime, I’ll be reading, and re-reading this post over and over again, checking typographical wonders like leading, size, color and contrast, and making those terribly difficult choices like “would this look better in arial or verdana.” Maybe I’ll go nuts and create some special styles for Mac users. Because, honestly, those Internet Explorer people are pretty much screwed anyway.
