VML is looking to hire Design interns for the 2011 summer program. It’s a 10-week program in KC (and perhaps in their NY office).Wear jeans, hang out in a creative environment and get your foot in the door of a top-rated digital agency with a pretty stellar list of clients. And don’t expect your hard work to go unrewarded – you'll be payed for your time.
To get the ball rolling, submit your resume, cover letter and work samples to Farrah McGuire (fmcguire@vml.com), Talent Manager, by next Monday. If you need an extension I recommend emailing Farrah personally and asking if that would be possible. UPDATE: they will accept applications to the end of March. An online portfolio is ideal, but they’ll look at work samples or your entire portfolio PDF through email, too.
Talk to me if you have questions!

Graphic design can change your life from Edenspiekermann on Vimeo.
i enjoy erik—his energy and true passion for work/life. in this production (not his title), he lucidly expresses many values that i personally share:
- on originality and inspiration;
- on the relationship between typography and language;
- on teamwork and the truth about design superstars;
- on the potential that design has to influence a culture and country.
very worth the 15 minutes!

seniors win national "design ignites change" awards
a huge congratulations to amanda laffoon (graphic design KCAI '11), tom morse-brown (graphic design KCAI '11) and tammy shell (graphic design KCAI '11) for winning a $4,700 implementation award and to bryan jones for winning a $500 idea award.
"i need a sidewalk" is an awareness campaign designed to alert city officials of the need to construct a sidewalk and crosswalk that provides access to rosedale park for its citizens. the park is situated across busy mission road and is currently very dangerous for anyone from the immediate neighborhood wishing to use the park facilities. funding will support the production of a billboard and website which will be supported by a press release, web video and other materials.
bryan jones' (graphic design KCAI '11) project, completed with jessica meurer (graphic design KCAI '11) and kate morr (graphic design KCAI '11), is entitled "enlightening individuals". a web-based test and supporting classroom poster series are designed to help fifth-graders understand how they best learn, either through visual, auditory, or kinesthetic means. the idea awards are given for strong concepts and recipients are not obliged to implement their projects.
see the full "design ignites change" press release here for a full list of winners. a special thanks goes out to jane heide, joshua hoffman, heidi holliday, and wendy wilson, our community partners in the rosedale neighborhood, for making this such a great experience for all of our seniors.
