	Michigan has had a long-standing and prominent reputation as the home to many great and influential designers and artisans, many of whom have defined past generations and continue to be influential in our state, national, and global economies. From art and design schools to furniture companies, from the big three to the many smaller firms, Michigan hosts a world-class collection of artists and designers residing and working within its bounds. Often overlooked, we must remind ourselves of the robust history that is woven into the fabric of our state. It is now time that we not only look back at our history for inspiration but forge ahead to cast a new vision for Michigan design. As an introduction to a series of events that will unfold over the next two years, AIGA Detroit proudly presents the Celebrate Michigan Design Poster Competition. We encourage you to share your thoughts, experiences and ideas about the future of design in our state. There are many stories to tell. This competition is a chance to give a voice to the design community by creating a poster showcasing the positive power of design and its influence on technology, culture and society. Sponsored by AIGA Detroit in partnership with Phoenix Press

The Model Your Campus in 3-D contest is back this year. If you have any interest in learning more about 3-D modeling, photography, georgraphy ect… you should check it out.

If you are interested, email me, becaus I would like to get a team together. We tried last year, but it was all seniors and we didn’t have enough time (it was due during graduation). This year it isn’t due until June 1st, but it’s now an international competition.

We should involve some of the CG people from Sill hall and really put forth a good effort.

a preview of what you’ll get:

EMU Friends of the Library need our help. They are having a contest and need us to do the following:

1. design a bookmark
2. design for a 11″ x 8″ canvas bag (2-3 colours) 
3. design a new logo for them

Each category will win a $100 gift certificate. These designs will give back to the EMU community as they are using them for a fund raiser to make the library better. Not only do you have a chance to win some money but you have the opportunity to give back to EMU. There are a few restrictions you must remember:

• bookmark and canvas bag must say “EMU Friends of the Library”
• your name and graduation year will appear on the design
• you can  have a printed piece to put in your portfolio
• they really want your design to “POP”
• let’s show the library how supportive we are

if you need to ask my any questions, please e-mail me or reply to this. my e-mail is jalliso1@emich.eduif you would like to visit EMU friends of the Library website go to http://brand.emich.edu/fol

Early January I received an invitation to an event kicking off a contest exclusive to all past and present ADC Young Gun Winners (a decade’s worth of award winners). While I couldn’t attend the event, I would eventually receive the official guidelines that would enable me to participate in this “contest.” I got the e-mail on friday. The contest: to design the 27th letter.

I find this particular contest quite intriguing, and at this moment am considering making the ART 462 (Image Making 2) class part of it. So on Tuesday in class I will talk more about this becoming a class project, but in the meantime, if you are reading the blog what are your thoughts? Are people interested in another class project?

I usually don’t like competitions, but in this case it has some nice rewards. The work featured in an online exhibition and published in a limited edition book. The proceeds go to non-profit group Lettra27. So it is for a good cause. And lets admit it is also quite a talent pool, it would be impressive to be one the ones chosen.
