First-Year Students Get Their Laptops!

First Year Computers 2013

Big smiles abound on the first day of second semester every year at the Creative Center. On that day, first-year students receive their brand new Mac laptop, software and computer bag they get to keep. Of course, with that laptop comes some serious learning - applications, computer layout principles, troubleshooting, and lots of late nights - but sometimes a little chaos is worth the reward! 
 

Open House S13


Featured Project: Mobile Apps
 
Mobile Apps 2013
 
Designers must follow technology, and with the advent of smartphones comes the creation of mobile apps. "There's an app for that" has quickly become a requirement instead of a joke. Third-year students have an opportunity to try their hand at Mobile App design as part of a larger campaign. Pictured above are apps created by CC students (top to bottom):

Jordan Adkisson (Sonny Gerber) - graduate of Waverly HS, Waverly, NE
Chris Driver (Bookworm) - graduate of Lewis Central Sr HS, Council Bluffs, IA 
Haley Jensby (Ebay) - graduate of Crete HS, Crete, NE
Christopher Northern (Pleasure Your Palate) - graduate of Bellevue East HS,
     Bellevue, NE

From the Director    Kim Guyer
Spring semester has officially begun, even though snow still covers the ground here in Omaha. Students have already begun to count the days until graduation, and portfolios are being edited, corrected, and perfected. Here's to all our educational faculty and staff - may you survive the chaotic - albeit worthwhile - last half of the school year.

Keep in mind that our next Open House will be on Saturday, March 16 from 11am - 3pm. High school seniors, let us know if you are interested in pursuing a career in graphic design and advertising. Fall classes start on August 12, 2013.

Sincerely,
