Job Opportunity

There is a great job opportunity working through a graphic design placement firm in Denver for porting online courses. It is kind of like editing Desire 2 Learn content, but different systems. The job is in Centennial, but most contractors work at home. They have a ton of work for the next month or two, and are recruiting more people.

For the FRC2 members whose focus is on Graphic Design, you probably already are (or may want to be) aware of what AIGA is.

In their own words:  "Founded as the American Institute of Graphic Arts in 1914 as a small, exclusive club, AIGA now represents more than 22,000 designers through national activities and local programs developed by 62 chapters and 240 student groups."

This organization can be very helpful to you as a student designer, a professional or even just someone who appreciates the graphic arts.

As a member of AIGA here is what you receive:

• Inspiration (Design archives, access to design portfolios and member profiles, interviews, essays, and even videos of award-winning members.)
• Discounts (use Lynda.com? Take 20% off with your AIGA membership. Also, receive discounts on FedEx services, Blurb.com, Adobe, Shutterstock, Apple and more. Check out the list of benefits HERE.)
• Networking opportunities (With design events going on all the time, you have a chance to connect with other like-minded designers, mentors and potential clients or even possible employers.)
• Cool events (AIGA events are being held across the US and online all the time! You can find lectures by design leaders and innovative business owners, brainstorming sessions, workshops and more.)
• Competitions (Get your name out there with opportunities to enter AIGA design competitions geared toward students or professionals.)

Find out more about AIGA by visiting their website HERE. Or the local Colorado chapter HERE.

Did you know, there's an AIGA group at CSU? The graphic design students at CSU have come together to form a student group called: AIGA SID "Students In Design". The AIGA SID group has regular meetings and workshops, speakers, events, competitions and often carpools to Denver AIGA events together.

AIGA SID has invited our group (FRC2) and any FRCC students interested, to join them at any of their events - anytime.

SKILLS & INTERESTS
Relative Skills: This is my fourth semester working with the Adobe CS5 suite and feel like I got a pretty good grip on Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, and some Dreamweaver. I have also been producing and mixing audio since I was a young so I have quite a bit of experience with audio editing, mastering, and recording. Programs like Acid Pro, Reason, Pro tools, Sonar, Cakewalk, Ableton, Fruity loops, etc. Music is what got me into video so they both have a huge role in my life. I play the drums, bass, and turntables.

I really enjoy using markers, pens, paint markers, India ink, spray paint, Prisma markers/colored pencils, or anything like these mediums. INK & PAINT! I am also a big fan of photography and videography (knowledge in digital), both viewing and creating. I have worked with Lightroom 3 a bit as well. I have a Nikon D50 for photo and a Cannon Optura Xi with wide angle, filters, and directional mic for video. So if there are any audio/video production students, I am your guy.

I am also familiar with a handful of video editing and post production video software programs like Final Cut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid technologies, Adobe After Effects, and Vegas Pro. I am a freelance lighting technician and camera operator for CPT12 (channel 12, Denver’s PBS), so I have quite a bit of in studio and out in field experience for filming and lighting.

All in all - I eat, sleep, and breathe art, music, and film or at least the means to make it, enjoy it, and/or obtain it in its many forms!
