Hey guys, just a heads up on a contest I thought you’d be interested in.
They’re called “Facebook Challenges” by DBH. New contests run every 2 weeks or so.

This week, the challenge is to make a word look like the word it is.
There’s $100 prize money for both the fan fave and staff pick. It’s also a fun little way to flash your name around.
Have fun! =]

- Bound Portfolio:
A bound portfolio creates a very professional and holistic presentation of your work. Project images will need to be reduced in size and restricted to paper but the finished project is often quite impressive. Process work can be incorporated in the page design to show the development of projects.
- An Online Experience:
Sending your book to as many people as possible is optimal. This is difficult when making physical forms of work, however sending a URL to a person is as easy as setting up a laptop in a Starbucks. (more…)

The location of AIGA JWU’s 2nd Annual Comedy For A Cure has been moved.
The event will now be taking place at PEPSI FORUM. NOT Xavier Auditorium like previously announced. There are technical issues in Xavier that will not be fixed before the performance.
The time of the event has NOT changed.
