Two New [Advanced] Courses Offered Again

Brandmark
Time and Location TBA

Every business entity has a mark an identifier to instill a memorable transaction—a Brandmark?

This class will cover the differences between a lexicon, an avatar, a mark in identity creation. It is not a logo class.

The course is an exploration of identity from traditional type and marks into compositions that compel, communicate and stand out from the clutter of identity systems that are slowing becoming clip art in design and appearance.







Portfolio Accelerator and Job Preparation
Time and Location TBA

This course is GRC 294B, accelerated; not your typical portfolio prep class.

Students will explore what a really portfolio is supposed to be, learning vital tools and skills to accelerate their portfolio for a memorable, impressionable tool.

All will be required to explore options of manufacturing / developing their own custom vehicle to showcase their talents and create, design and establish key elements for them to go after their dream position or project

Students With InDesign SkillsWanted for Part-time Job

Here is an opportunity for a GRC student who knows how to use InDesign.
The job is basically laying out manuals that has been translated into Spanish. No translation work is needed; it is pretty much a layout production job.

The pay range is $12-14/hr. for 3-4 days per week with schedule flexibility, but the standard company schedule will be M-F 8-5pm.

The Spanish translation is in a word document file; the tech writer will have to incorporate it into an existing InDesign file. Here is a sample page from one of the manuals: csn.edu/cg/html/whats_new/tech_manual_sample_pages.pdf
