After working as EMU Student Center Operations student graphic designer for what will be almost three years in April, it is about time for me to say “Good bye.” This means the department is in need of a replacement to start working the beginning of the 2010 Spring semester. The details are below:

All,

This weekend AIGA Toledo is hosting a student portfolio review in Bowling Green, OH. The format will be similar to the one we hosted. All students are welcome to attend. This is encouraged if you live or plan to live in Ohio as it might be a good idea to network with some Ohio based designers.http://toledo.aiga.org/events/2008/04/17182862

Got this email from a former student who is doing well. Reply to him if interested or you have questions, because that’s all the info I got.

Andy, Ryan and Leslie,

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

okay i hope i got your attention. you need to come to the aiga meeting this week (on thursday) at 8:00….

we need you to come out and brain storm some ideas for the portfolio review that will be held at EMU

this year.  you need to come out, its pretty fun. get involved…. care.

There is a little girl back home (in Brockville Ontario) that was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her name is Lilly and she is one-years-old. There is going to be an art exhibition in Toronto where all art sold will go towards her medical bills as she comes from a family that isn’t well off. I’m looking for people who would be interested in donating paintings or creating paintings, photos, posters, ect. for the exhibition – but there’s a catch: the exhibition is called “Lilies for Lilly” so all art should be of a lily or lilies. If you can have the items for me before February 16th 2008 that would be sweet. If you can frame it that would be even better but if not I can pay for it to be framed.

Cellar Roots, EMU’s student literary magazine, is looking for two graphic designers–one to design advertising (which would be more of a year-long gig) and one to design the book (which would be a more focused assignment, mostly working in the winter). They are looking for students with a little experience, though are always willing to give students new to the process a chance.

I don’t know about compensation, but in the early and mid 90s Cellar Roots was make waves in many design publications. It had quite the exposure, I knew about it even before I came here.
