Design By Humans Contests

Samantha Kowalczyk — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:02:27 +0000

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! =]

Second Annual Comedy For A Cure

Jonathan Desrosiers — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:57:31 +0000

March 18, 2010
6:00 pm	to	9:30 pm

Last year, we held a fundraiser called Comedy For A Cure during which we raised over $300 for our Relay For Life team. It was a great time, and everyone is asking about it again this year. So it is back by popular demand.

Tickets are just $5!
Pepsi Forum on Pine Street.
Donations will be accepted at the door.
Raffle prizes will be given away as well!

100% OF PROCEEDS ARE DONATED TO RELAY FOR LIFE

We can fit 250 people! Let’s fill this place up and raise money for a great cause! This year’s event will be a little different though. It will be composed of 2 parts:

Student Gallery

The first part of the event will give students an opportunity to display their work. Outside of the auditorium where the stand up event will take place, there will be a gallery full of member and non member work. We hope to attract many members of the design community to the event to view our hard work.

Comedy Event

This is the main event. It will be hosted by myself, and 4 local comedians will be donating their time to perform stand up!

Derek Furtado, Kelly Morse, Mike Murray and John Porch

In the weeks leading up to the event we will post bios on each comic to get you pumped up!

If you are interested in displaying your work, please email us at aigajwu@gmail.com. We will contact you back with details.

Here are some photos from last year’s event.

2010 Calendar Voting

Jonathan Desrosiers — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:27:44 +0000

So a few weeks ago we put up some student work in the form of 2010 calendar posters. They featured 100% hand drawn works of students at Johnson & Wales Professor Karyn Jimenez’s Fundamentals in Drawing class. The time has come to vote.

Below are the posters again and a poll where you can vote for your favorite. Each paying member of the Johnson & Wales University Student Chapter will receive one copy of the winning poster, and everyone will have the ability to purchase any they choose. Information on cost and how to purchase will come after the poll closes.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Recently we came to the aide of the Relay For Life planning committee at Johnson & Wales. They asked us for help creating a JWU specific Relay For Life logo. Below are the submissions that we received. The first one by Kyla Covert was selected, and will be used for all of JWU’s Relay For Life.

Congratulations Kyla!

2010 Calendar Poster Competition

Jonathan Desrosiers — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:52:15 +0000

December 4, 2009 6:00 pm

January 11, 2010 7:00 pm

At our design-a-thon on the 14th, one of the things you can work on is a 2010 calendar poster. We will vote after the holiday break on which one we like best, and we will get it printed for members to take home. These posters will be due the week we come back from break..

Here are the requirements of the poster:

Must be 16″ x 20″
Must be 300DPI
Contain every day of the 2010 year (I don’t say every month because you are not restricted to the typical monthly grid layout)
Must use images you are allowed to use (creative commons, purchased stock images, etc.).

These are just a few requirements, if we think of any more we will let you know!
