Sat­ur­day:

2:20: I just got done shoot­ing a video. Will try to get that bad boy up on YouTube soon. My part­ner was Jackie Cain of the Echo at St. Michael’s Col­lege in Ver­mont.

Ear­lier I had Burger King: dou­ble cheese­burger and a straw­berry shake. De­li­cious as al­ways. Nice walk down Wash­ing­ton Avenue.

10:20: Af­ter a de­li­cious pizza and wings din­ner last night, An­drea, Ben and I all headed out sep­a­rate ways and I am now back at the U of M.

Sit­ting in with Ron John­son again. This time: 10 de­sign tips.

Fri­day

3:45:

Back with Ron John­son of In­di­ana Uni­ver­sity. This time the work­shop is on Fun­da­men­tal News De­sign. Same room (Mur­phy 228) as with Joel Eisfelder.

Hope­fully I’ll learn some good stuff to ap­ply to City Col­lege News.

1:20:

Af­ter a de­li­cious lunch at Dairy Queen, I am now sit­ting in on the “Na­tional Ad­ver­tis­ing & Your News­pa­per” work­shop with Joel Eis­felder of Cam­pus Me­dia Group.

10:50:

I’m cur­rently at the “In­De­sign Tips to Im­prove Ty­pog­ra­phy” ses­sion. Speaker is Ron John­son of In­di­ana Uni­ver­sity.

Very in­ter­est­ing so far. Learn­ing a lot and re­in­forc­ing what I al­ready know, or thought I did.

10:20:

David Brauer is speak­ing right now. Very in­ter­est­ing so far.

9:45:

I got here not that long ago and have reg­is­tered. The Keynote speaker starts in 15 min­utes. The speaker is MinnPost’s David Brauer. Will keep you read­ers up­dated as times goes by. Hope­fully I’ll be learn­ing about quite a few things here: Ad­ver­tis­ing, Layout/Graphic De­sign and some “cut­ting edge” audio/video techniques.
