Inspired by Kit Hinrichs exhibit at Sac State

GCOM students, go see the Kit Hinrichs exhibit in Sac State's library!

The GC Club and a few other GCOM students checked out the exhibit on Friday. Gwen Amos of Sac State's graphic design program shared Kit stories on the exhibits and his process. Kit, a partner of Pentagram (see two videos on the design agency at hillmancurtis.com or click here 1 / 2) is known for "rethinking the annual report."

The exhibit is on display until November in the Library Gallery at Sac State.

GC Students Visit CCA in SF

This past Wednesday, April 16, five GCOM students and I (instructor Don Button) took a trip to the City by the Bay for a tour of the California College of the Arts campus. The trip was sponsored by the GC Club.

We visited with GCOM instructor Robyn Waxman who is there working on her Masters Degree for two years. We were also joined by former SCC GCOM students Janet and Jason. They answered questions and shared their experiences transitioning from community college to big-time art school. One of the Design Department's chairs also met with us and answered questions. 

Then Robyn gave us the full tour of the main building, where the many programs (graphic design, fine arts, photography, industrial design, fashion design, illustration, architecture and several others) all share space and intermingle. 

It's an amazingly creative and exciting atmosphere. GC Club president Adrienne Miller-Moore took some photos and we've posted a slide show for you to se at  http://wserver.scc.losrios.edu/~tech/gc/cca/
