Recent VC Grad Designs Box Set Book for Black Francis

February 16th, 2010

Mark Lemhouse (2009) designed a recent box set release by the group Black Francis. Frank Black wrote and performed a new score to the 1920’s silent film The Golem, which is included in this five-dsic set. Lemhouse designed the unique package, and helped printed the 500 letter-pressed signature pages (pressed at a local letterpress museum). A making-of video, featuring Lemhouse, is posted on Black Francis’ YouTube channel.

Thinking of applying for the Visual Communications program? Think twice!

February 4th, 2010

We will soon have two degrees to offer our students: Graphic Design or Graphic Design with an option in Interactive Media (encompassing Web design, Flash animation, and digital video). We’ll have the new curriculum and application forms up soon.

Already applied for the program? No worries, we’ll help you transition to the new course of study. Can’t decide? Don’t have to. You’ll still apply to the Visual Communications Program and have the entire first year before needing to decide which path to follow. New information should be up by mid-March.

Call or email with any questions. We’re excited about the changes and look forward to sharing them with all of you.
