CC Interns Earn Highest Praise
 

Evan Dooley With clients such as Big Mama's Kitchen and Sandwich Shop, R&AMarketing, eSports Solutions, Oriental Trading Co., and Union Pacific, 83 Design Collective had more work than the current staff could handle, and owner Brad Stoneking decided to hire summer interns. He chose two students from the Creative Center: Evan Dooley and Jessica Smolinski. 

 

"Hiring interns is always risky, and I'll admit that I had doubts about hiring from the Creative Center instead of my alma mater, but after working with them this summer, I couldn't have asked for two better people when we really needed it."

 

"Evan has the best work ethic out of Jessica Smolinski any student I've worked with, and Jessica is like the other portion of my brain - I don't have to second guess her decision-making skills."

 

"They have been amazing. I've asked them to stay on and work part-time while they continue their schooling next year."

 

Which is, of course, the highest praise that any intern could ask for: the opportunity to remain on the job.

Featured Project: Absolut Ads

 
The advertising for Absolut Vodka has become a part of pop culture as much as the Mastercard Priceless ads or the Budweiser Clydesdales. In first year, students are challenged with designing a new ad for Absolut using their existing campaign idea, and given only one day to complete it.
 
Below are samples of Absolut ads created by CC students. Top to bottom:
 
Amy Arnold - graduate of North Fort Myers HS in North Fort Myers, FL
Cole Collett - graduate of Bellevue West HS in Bellevue, NE
Megan Christiansen - graduate of Millard West HS in Omaha, NE
Shawna Wells - graduate of Leavenworth High School in Leavenworth, KS

From the Director    Kim Guyer
I can't believe that we have less than two weeks until the first day of class. Whew - this summer sure flew by!
 
I hope everyone had a chance to get some rest and relaxation this summer, so you are ready to hit the ground running this fall. I know I've spoken to several of our students who are excited to return, and I'll bet you are ready, too.
 
If you are a high school graduate, and you are still considering a career in graphic design and advertising, call us right away. Fall classes start on August 12, 2013!
