Upcoming - Saturday July
9 - Many of our current graphic design students are looking forward to
the Silicon Valley College San Jose
Campus Graduation Ceremony.
The SVC San Jose Graduation will be held at the San
Jose Convention Center in the Parkside Hall "B" at 10 AM
in downtown San Jose (408 Almaden Blvd.). Friends and family are welcome to come to the festivities.
Don't forget to
reserve your mandatory cap and gown; inquire in the Library on campus.
New Instructors -
The
Graphics Dept is fortunate to have two incredibly talented instructors
joining us for the upcoming mod. Among other things, Kevin Croall is
a professional comic book illustrator, and he will be teaching Illustrator
and Quark Desktop Publishing and Layout for us this mod. Some of you
may already know Shaun Tsai, who taught Photoshop and helped guide
some Portfolio students in the evenings last mod. He is a very talented
graphic designer who has worked with
videogame producers, and he will be teaching Collateral Design & Layout
in the new morning sessions. Take time to say "hi" if
you don't have them for class yet and make them welcome. |
Art Shmart (the
online mini-version) -
Here are 6 art
pieces; 1 painting is worth over 10 million dollars! (by auction price or museum
estimate).
Pick out the "masterpiece" if you can; the answer is available from the link below the paintings.

Message
from Director - A little
bonus career advice: I've gotten a general consensus from several
recent grads (who have gone on to bigger and better things) about those
"little print shop gigs"...
While they don't pay the top dollar, they do give you very valuable
experience and opportunities to network. Even if you're focused on
digital media, print jobs can enhance your pocketbook and
portfolio. Newspaper, magazine, and advertising companies
paying more $$$ look for this kind of experience, too... They also want a
great-looking portfolio, of course; we'll help you with that!
Paul Smith,
Director of the Graphic Design Program
at Silicon Valley College, San Jose Campus
