WOW!

20 Years Already!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our 20 Year Anniversary Open House. We had a lot of fun seeing alumni, meeting spouses, and catching up with everyone! Here's to another 20 years!

This is Halloween!

Creative Center students go wild on our favorite holiday!

Featured Project: Illustration in Three Media

Designers are challenged every day with the question of how to produce a project. (Which software application is the most efficient? Perhaps a computer is not the best tool to use.) One of the first projects in the second year is the chance to illustrate the same picture in three different media: traditional, vector (Illustrator), and raster (Photoshop). This project helps to validate the verbal instruction describing each medium's strengths; it also gives credence to each medium's weaknesses. Below are samples of illustrations created by CC students; two of the three styles are shown. Top to bottom:

Katie Musil (traditional and raster) - graduate of Tri County Public Schools in DeWitt, NE

Cole Collett (traditional and raster) - graduate of Bellevue West HS in Bellevue, NE

Crystal Puhrmann (vector and raster) - graduate of South O'Brien HS in Paullina, IA
