May 2, 2005  The first ever SVC San Jose Art Show was great!  Check out pictures and final judging results below.   
    
The new mod starts Monday May 2, 2005.  Students' class assignments will be posted by the whiteboard just past the lobby and at the T.D. printers station.  If you have questions or concerns about scheduling, please contact Registrar Pam Curtis and/or Graphic Design Program Director Paul Smith.

     The Art Show was a great success!  We saw a lot of high quality work from some very talented students.  We were also fortunate to have high-powered visitors come to review and judge the works:  Christine Hermesmeyer from Fatbox Films, Ace Miles from Electronic Arts, Jeff Rascov Director of the Digital Media Dept at West Valley College, and Fine Art Auctioneer Jerry Leventer. 

Here are the First Place Winners:

    You can view the First Place Winners' Art in the SVC San Jose Campus Lobby through the summer 2005.  The second, third and honorable mention place art will also be displayed throughout various locations around the campus.

     If you didn't get an entry in this time, don't worry; this will be an ongoing part of the Graphic Design program from now on.  Plan for the next Art Competition and Show that will be in November with some special holiday art categories.

     Here's a last look at the show; check out examples of collateral design at the right.  More of the  matte-mounted photo realistic, illustration, and advertising art is below.

Message from Director -

     Many of our current graphic design students are looking forward to a July 9 graduation.  All are welcome to come to the festivities at the San Jose Convention Center at 10 AM (408 Almaden Blvd.) in downtown San Jose.  The SVC San Jose Graduation will be in the Parkside Hall B.

     I'd like to thank all the students and faculty who pitched in to make the first ever SVC San Jose Art Show a success.  A very good start from an impressive group of artists.
