Studio Week begins!!! And it has already been super superlative as everyone is off to a week-long charette that will be all about make and do. We had in the house for a brown bag lunchtime ‘paper seminar’ with Unisource and Neenah Papers at the end of last week… and, Jim Garcia brought in all the ice-cream and toppings the students could eat. Grads are rushing around, finishing up work, and students are working diligently on everything from logos to iphone apps, chair concepts to brand platforms, environmental models to videos, websites to publications… Congratulations to all on your hard work during the quarter, and here’s to some of the best projects ever in just a bit. Best of luck on your critiques!

Portfolio Center photographers Andrea Dorsey, Amelia Alpaugh, and Artem Navarov recently completed work for MODA’s Beyond Bricks and Sticks exhibit, which opened at The World of Coke and is currently on display at the CNN Center. The traveling exhibition highlights the ways green design is changing the spaces in which we live, work, and play. The three students were asked to shoot at Serenbe, Greenco, and Phillips arena in order to cover a composting story for the show’s Nourish cube. Yet another example of Portfolio Center students making real contributions.
