Teaching Design Online! How It's Done!
I created this piece online in InDesign - step by step
Now I'll demonstrate how to use templates for presentation Wednesday morning
|
In my Publication Design Course I demonstrate the process of designing a simple promotional brochure for a contemporary lamp from start to finish. In Zoom I take over the screen and use InDesign and create a cover and spread and show the developmental process and potential concepts of continuity between front & inside. I demonstrate how to set type and and set headlines, create a masthead and display continuity in color and talk about size relationships.
The students in the course spread it around that this was very important in learning design, creative thinking and understanding the interface as well. I could design this multiple ways - it's in my blood! More coming partners! After I complete the process, I place it into a presentation template that will make a great splash page and a believeable image on the internet. All Designers throughout the country use these for presenting and convincing clients. |

Heather Christman
4AAF Gov-Elect 
|
Heather Christman, AAF 4th District Governor-Elect called me Tuesday and gave me the news that AAF Treasure Coast was selected to host the 4AAF Fall Regional Conference. Heather judged our recent 2020 Treasure Coast Addy Awards and was extremely impressed by the quality of the work from both Professional & Students. We have worked very hard over the past few years to build our club, it's reputation and the quality of the work. I just built a new AAFTreasureCoast.org website in WordPress and Elementor. Heather has served on National Committees for AAF for many years and I can trust her because of her wisdom, extensive experience and professionalism. She was a former student here at IRSC and lived in Vero Beach years ago. Her impression of our school and the work was at the highest level.
As the AAF Treasure Coast President for the last two years, I have been fortunate to attend Regional and National Conferences in addition to providing Design & Advertising Seminars and Addy Awards. I thrive on meeting leaders, designers and marketing professionals to talk about their projects, clients and clubs. I've participated in some great AAF Conferences & Seminars.

In the past few years I've met Designers and Faculty from all over the country like David Koranda from the University of Oregon who takes his students to competitions in New York City every year. You meet big personalities like Lisa Delaney from AAF Pasadena at Admerica along with celebrities in Marketing, Design & Advertising. We meet and talk with professionals about their projects, design & marketing, the latest software and problem solving! My preference is to talk to people who actually work in their fields of study rather than listen to a critic with no skills, no clients and no projects.
My teaching and professionalism has worked with the top designers in this country and with thousands of students who have dedicated themselves to excellence and have great jobs because of it. People like Dana Arnett, Martha Perez, Mike McMillan, Mike Stees, Lori Pocci, Gary Majus, Ahmad Toom, Scott Johnson, Marjorie Shropshire, Lance Camp, Doug Chilton, Holly Grundel, Dustin Knotek, Daniel Sauceda, Victoria Racine, Piyi Kalampaliki, Lesley Driver, Megan Thomas, Stacy Givens, David Leemon, Annie Mayer, Robin Marsicovetere, Max Feurer, Christina Ibanez, Roger Mallot, David Leemon, Marcus Grant, Jay Krier, Francesco Avitto and Corinne Flannery. This Fall we'll have the Regional Conference for the Fourth District of Florida on the Treasure Caost. Heather Christman, the incoming 4AAF Governor of Florida is originally from Vero Beach, took classes at IRSC years ago. She recently judged our AAF Treasure Coast Student and Professional Addy Awards in the Kight Center Atrium! |
I'm fortunate to work with such classy professionals like Barry Marsh, Gail Goldy, Victoria Racine, Howard Beauchamp, Dustin Knotek, Francesco Avitto, Philip Busch & Ahmad Toom.
Our organization has plenty of superstars as members - Michael Visconti, Christina Ibanez, Amanda Robinson, Carrie Adams, Vicki Racine, Ahmad Toom, Emily Thorsen, Lesley Driver, Denise Lechner, Spencer Rutledge, Matthew Stone, Howard Beauchamp, Alyssa Taylor, Patricia D'Abate, Nicole Hricik, Plythe Freedman, Rhett Lloyd, Federico Sandoval, Lauren Black, Darcey Thompson, Erik Gill & Patrick Lejeune, Dustin Knotek, John Nelson, Robbie Adams, Francesco Avitto, the TAMCO Group, Beverly Jones - BB Jones Communications, the FireFly Group & the TOVO Group. We are expanding our organization and looking for more professionals and in having seminars & events that promote Marketing, Design and Advertising! Our next event will focus on web design, social media and marketing in our current environment of networking and communications. This past year, I visited most of our members at their studios on multiple occasions encouraging participation and commitment! We are in the process of approaching the mayors of the cities of Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce and Stuart to support Design Awards at next year's Addy Awards. We are also in the process of developing Sponsorships with several of our local businesses and corporations. |
4AAF of Florida Virtual Online Meeting of Presidents
February 28, 2020

For the past 10 years I've worked online in meetings with the American Advertising Federation (our last meeting was a Virtual Board Meeting with each club online on Zoom - above) and Webinars for Club Guidelines; the New York Boulders Baseball Team on a variety of projects using Skype in Pomona, NY; Dylan Investments with the new identity for Oak Harbor in Vero Beach (3-way meetings with the parent company in West Hollywood, CA for an entire year with Go To Meeting); and with an International Corporation selling 3D Scanning Equipment where I produced Marketing Materials and worked with employees in several countries.

Professionalism in Design & Education
|
Students in a quality 4-year design program deserve credentialed faculty who have the professionalism to give information from experience and actual work in their field of study. Community Colleges are at another level - requirements are at a much lower level. I am proud to have worked at three major 4-year institutions who have highly-professional faculty who all produce quality work, win awards and perform at a high level of expertise. Faculty with no experience do lots of talking and are limited in their knowledge of professionalism in the design environment, understanding production and the diversity of skills needed to be successful.
Class Projects that I produce meet the professional standards of what designers, art directors and advertising executives in the field of design expect. My experience with hundreds of major design firms in Chicago, New York, Miami and around the country who have hired my students enforce what I do in the Design Classroom everyday. It's a process of growing professionally and moving up the ladder of success with each new challenge. We have all kinds of design students at IRSC from all kinds of backgrounds - they all need to be mature enough to dedicate themselves to excellence in creating a portfolio that has quality, diversity and personal expression. I help students by demonstrating the design process - in my own projects and showing students how to experiment - teachers who can't are wasting your time and money. |
The big test is the interview where they explain who they are and what they articulate about their work. I have prepared students in Design for 35 years including many of the top designers in the US. I make sure that the portfolios are diverse and well constructed in composition, typography & across several visual platforms.
Designers and Faculty are judged by what they produce - I pride myself on maintaining a network of over 40 companies & professionals who trust my judgement. I involve over 100 of my students in assisting in these projects. Local and national printers trust me with my production background and design skills - Annette Watson at Hartley Press (the biggest printer in SE of the US), Steve Schmoyer at MultiColor Printing & Rene Pierre Levoie at IMS, Inc. in Montreal/Quebec City, Canada. Some of our students think they are highly talented yet have never interviewed or worked in a quality design office. They are in for a big awakening. The correct attitude is to be experimental, open-minded and diverse, as well as confident. The successful students that I have taught have a lot in common - they are relentless in finding great solutions. The Design World is working at a high level - we'll see how hard you work and whether you can fit into it! Remember - Designers Teach Design! |
