Go check out the Connections Page. It has been update with some people, including the legendary Kirk Souder, VC 1985. Kirk gave a talk here last year that I still am inspired by. He has worked on some huge projects, including recently the movie “ART and COPY”, which you should all go see. To think he came from the same program we are in… ‘
If your website is still not on their, post it here so we can add it. It can only get you more exposure.
Junior Art Director/Designer Hybrid needed in NYC
Posted by | kreaton | on December 18, 2009 | No Comments
hey all recent grads… i (katie eaton, VC ‘OO) need a junior person to work with me at a small, independently owned agency in soho. There are about 12 of us, half of which are australian. You would think this would be inconsequential but it means that the office is super fun, loud, and then fun again. We do a good mixture of interactive, social & organic media, promotional work, identity, print work for some big clients as well as really small upstarts.
what i really want is someone with strong conceptual and design skills, someone who’s excited to work hard and do really cool work (when we can) and pick up some unglamorous stuff (when we have to). Since it’s a small agency, everyone tends to lend a hand in everything.
for more info please shoot me an email with your resume/pdf/links to:

There are some really awesome packaging designs going on out there in the world right now… check them out! I recently discovered this blog: http://www.thedieline.com/blog/
Also, if there are some of you out there that don’t use StumbleUpon, I highly recommend it. Perfect way to get inspiration from other artists (or you know, find some sweet hilarious videos).
