Hey students,
We are past the first few awkward classes of giving out the syllabi, etc… so let’s get inspired and excited about our future projects.
This post is part FYI, part inspiration, part reference.
I have posted this video before, but I always go back to it.. It’s by one of my favorite radio personalities, Ira Glass. Interesting typography + words of encouragement if you are in that “I don’t know where to begin” early semester state of mind.
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/24715531]If you aren’t familiar with AIGA – “AIGA, the professional association for design, is committed to advancing design as a professional craft, strategic advantage and vital cultural force”… then you should get acquainted with it. See their website for great articles, tools and resources and even jobs and portfolios. (As seen in the image below by Adam Garcia via thepressure.org.
Let’s get moving!
I’m recycling this post from last semester (sorry) – but its a good one for those of you who are new in my classes.
Fall in love with design magazines…
Many of you come to me to ask me… “What should I be doing?” “How can I get info on professional Graphic Design?” This is the time when you should not only be asking these questions.. but also doing research about your future career. In class I often talk about doing visual research – many of you are very web savvy, but remember that there are a lot more resources than are just online. .. 😉
Art and Design magazines should be in your rotation! Here are a bunch to get you started – these can be found at any local bookstore as well as our school library and often, your community library. They are FREE to look at – don’t forget about this great resource. Most of them have a portion of their magazine on their website, but honestly – the print versions are better.

I stumbled upon this video and loved it. As graphic designers and artists scissors are so integral to our process. I also learned a new word” “Putter” : “a putter together of scissors”. Who knew.
