New Printers

John Yost is our new Art Technology Support Coordinator and he has been hard at work creating a "cage" for checking out digital equipment in addition to a new printing room. His office, and the cage, are across from Linke's lab.

The new printing area has four Epson printers:
(1) 9800 for sheet fed
(2) 7800 one semi gloss, one matte
(1) 4400 lustre

Prints can be purchased with your Skidmore Card, during specified hours.
The lab has also been totally updated with CS3.
This is big.

Job Opportunity

Colin Quinn '07 writes, " I am currently work for a company as a graphic designer but am leaving at the end of the month, and moving else where. My boss is looking for another designer to fill in after I leave. He is looking for either a graduate who can work full time or a current student who would be able to work part time. The job pays well and hours are flexible, The person would need to know basic graphic design skills and knowing how to work on websites is a plus but not mandory. If you know of anyone who would be interested could you may forward this email and have them contact Gretchen Freund at gfreund@uit-systems.com, they could also look at the website which is www.uit-systems.com."

This is why I am doing this!

Design in Denmark

Charlie Whitney is moving to Denmark. " I'll be doing some print/web design stuff andprobably a lot of flash programming. The company is called hello monday (hellomonday.net) and they are super nice and talented people;
I'm really looking forward to working with them."
Also, "the Danish design community is exploding right now though and it should be pretty awesome. I know already I'll be working on a few cool websites, design for a cafe (identity, wall decorations, furniture, everything!) and stuff for a clothing line."

Looks like a great place...

Pool Party

Sorry I don't have any pics, (and Deb was there!) but Deb, Jordan and Justin "Wounded Knee" Hirsch, came out for a barbeque and swim. It was sunny and in the eighties. A gorgeous day all around. (Escept for the faint smell of fuel oil.)

Okay, we have to get started somewhere. Alumni and students often send me news, urls, job or freelance opportunities, internships, tips and just fun goofy stuff. I want to pass that information along to you, hence the name, Clipboard. Please take advantage of this resource and PLEASE contribute. I am going to start with some of the most recent emails I have received.

Yours,
