Last night's Graphic-Con event was a truly fun and inspiring event. The talent on display, both in print and on over 20 Mac screens was amazing. The GC Club team deserves a big round of applause for their tireless effort to promote the GCOM department and all of it's talented and creative students.
The winners of the 2008 GCOM Student Design Awards were also announced. I don't have the names of the many silver award winners in the Print and Multimedia categories, but here are the names of the Gold winners and Best of Show winners:
Best of Show Award for Print: Taras Garcia
Best of Show Award for Multimedia: Daniel Moore
Best of Show People's Choice: Vitaliy Zavorotny
Gold Award Winners: Pricilla Garcia, Taras Garcia, Seth McComber, Daniel Moore, Vitaliy Zavorotny
Also, there was a very entertaining live design competition among faculty and students. Four designers were given a random set of images and two words, then pitted against each other in a 30 minute design death match. In the faculty bout, Robyn Waxman, Missy Anapolsky, Tom Cappelletti, and Don Button competed. Yours truly (Don) was voted the victor by the audience. Quite a comeback from my totally awful attempt last semester, if I do say so. In the student competition, Pricilla Garcia was voted the winner for her inspired take on political posters and "inflated" politicians.
Congrats to all the winners and participants, and thank you to all the sponsors and volunteers!
