The Creative Center is extremely proud to announce that 18 students won a total of 32 ADDYs at the 2014 Nebraska ADDY competition, including a Judge's Special Citation.

Great job, and look for your work in the Hall of Fame!

Graduate of the Month 
Creative Director and Owner
of 11/26 Art Studios in
Fort Myers, FL
www.1126artstudio.com
High School: Harlan Community HS in Harlan, IA
What does the company do?
11/26 Art Studio specializes in print design for the entertainment industry. This includes anything, including identity, merchandise, CD packaging, or flyer designs.
What does the graduate do? Owning the company, I do everything from creative briefs, research, pulling scrap, sketching, designing, billing, promoting, and keeping the communication lines from the studio to clients open. Definitely a job that demands me to wear multiple hats and put in as many hours as it takes to get the job done on time.
Clients: Some clients I've had approvals from are Paul McCartney, Katy Perry, Deftones, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, Janis Joplin, Rick James and Anthem Made.
Comments: I recommend to any designer out there that feels they can fulfill a niche to pursue it. I was told a lot that I was hurting myself by focusing on design for musicians, but it's what I wanted to do. I put in a lot of extra hours during the week, learning new things and doing work for any band that would allow me. Now I'm full time, my own boss, working from home, and doing what I love for a living. Chase your dreams.
