It's Time To Blast Off on a two-year expedition of creativity and passion as you head towards a BFA in Graphic Design.

I'm so proud of each of you and you should be proud of yourself as well.
Celebrate!
This is the first time I remember the class being divided into half male and half female. It's never happened this way before. Another first!

For those who submitted to Portfolio Review: Good Luck!

My last count was 46 applicants who are submitting portfolios for review. It was the same number as last year. (I'm missing Nevena's porfolio image but I'll post it once I dig thru my images!)

Good Luck 3200 Designers!

*click it for a larger panoramic view of your class

Once again it was great fun to have been part of your GrD3200 class this semester! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know what any of us would have done without Katia Lord being a part of our class this semester. Her assistance and insights were invaluable. Thanks again Katia!

I'll seriously miss getting to spend my Monday/Wednesday evenings with you talking about design.I was really impressed with the amount of talent and creativity that each of you offered during the past 16 weeks.

For those of you NOT applying to the graphic design program I want to wish you the best in your education and if you ever need anything from me I hope you won't hesitate to contact me and ask for any assistance I can provide. Once you've been in my class then you will always have my support in the years to come. Don't be a stranger.

For those of you getting ready to apply to the BFA Graphic Design program then I want to wish each of you the very best. Just know you did your very best and have confidence in yourself and your talent. If you are accepted into the 2-year BFA Graphic Design program just realize that there is a lot of exciting work and projects ahead of you. For those of you who are not accepted into the program this year remember that you really do have options and I'll gladly assist and guide you anyway I can. This type of application process is not unusual to any college or University and for that matter to anything else you might be trying to pursue in life. So celebrate when you can and have patience when you need to. It all works out. Good Luck and I'll be cheering each of you on.
