February 26, 2010: Love Nest: Photographs and Objects

A wonderful night celebrating so much of your work from the Fall Semester.
Your work is certainly a big part of the exhibition. Brenda Galina complimented your work at the opening along with the work from Ga Tech and Portfolio Center. Nathan was singled out for his poster design, which seemed to be everywhere you looked. Certainly a Love Fest for his Love Nest Logo and Poster design. I hope those of you who couldn't go to the opening that you'll take the time and go see the show and your work. You owe that to yourself and your fellow designers in class. Take time to celebrate your accomplishments.

How many designers still in school get to have their work in a Museum of Design?You can now say with confidence that your work is currently being exhibited in a museum of design. How cool is that? GSU is going to do a story on the event as well.

Thanks to Joe Buckel for insisting t that we have the posters printed to a larger format (18x24.) Also to Joe, Mike Rogers, Michelle Villasenor, Nathan Linkous and Phillip Webb for assisting in all the spray mounting, foam core preparation and printing. We got all the posters printed for free so it was kismet we indeed went larger for the design impact at the exhibition.

MODA " LOVE NEST" OPENING THIS FRIDAY

Please try to show up for at least an appearance for the opening for "Love Nest" which starts this friday. The reception is between 6-8pm and our class will be recognized I'm told. All your posters will be on display as well through the first week of the exhibition. Hope to see you there!
