Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you were able to rest a bit before jumping into the busy new year. I know I cherish the few days off during the holiday season that I get to spend with my family.

I want to personally congratulate the AIGA winners from this year's competition. The winning work is stellar, and you should be very proud of yourselves.

Keep in mind that our next Open House will be on Saturday, March 17 from 11am-3pm. High school seniors, let us know if you are interested in pursuing a career in graphic design and advertising. Classes for next year start on August 6, 2012.
