Kudos to the Kent Class!

I was invited to participate as a judge for senior presentations in Bob Petersen's Kent State Class "Issues of Graphic Design". At the end of the semester the seniors present a project to creative industry professionals who critique their presentation along with another member of the class and of course the professor (Adjunct Professor Bob Petersen). I've done this a couple of times. And each time I'm always crazy busy (some rush always occurs) and speeding my way out to Kent. But when I get there, it's a super charge for my creative soul. I often wonder if it isn't more rewarding to me than the seniors. Of interest with this semester's class was a prevalent use of an electronic presentations rather than storyboards and actual work. We talked about this as a class and it represents the overall trend towards digital and especially the shift in the University's requirement of this format early on in their design classes. I've got to say that this group really had something special going on. Great job to all! Thanks for letting me be there!
