Last Year the On Demand Internet Media Group Presented
​Their Software and Identity System to My Class in Design   

                                                           Jobe Scott Plevik
Jobe Scott Plevik and Craig Cyril presented their company to my class and we were joined by another teacher and his students in the back of my classroom. After their presentation the other class immediately left the room and didn't stay to ask questions. My group was very respective and asked about their identity and software capabilities. We introduced them to the SBDC and Tom Kindred and several investors were very interested in their product and my group came up with their new identity. On Demand Internet Media. Rebecca Mitchell, a Senior, developed a great new contemporary logo and won a Gold Addy Award for her entry! I remember a student telling me they thought these guys were crooks and they could get anything they presented already. It all has to do with the difference between & Artist's judgmental, arrogant perspective & a Designer's problem solving ability.

90% of these these graduates stay in touch with me and I help them get their next job. Max Feurer changed jobs in the Tampa area several times and always stayed in touch. I constantly get emails saying thank you, asking for advice or have me get in touch with a placement agency for a recommendation.

I’m so grateful for everything you taught me during my time there at IRSC and I really miss it. Having you as a mentor and professor really helped me grow into the person I am today, and I’ll always treasure my time at IRSC and in your classroom! Since Seattle is a bit far, I’m usually only back home during the holidays, but I know the college is on Christmas break. Next time I’m in town, I’d love to come by and say hi – and maybe see how your new students are doing!

Professional Projects & Student Success

When I am asked to work on Professional Projects, I involve my students for their Design Skills and Fresh Ideas and the chance to get Experience on their Resumes before they graduate.

Every year for 13 years I've paid for all the Student Addy Awards here at IRSC, and this past year I paid for several professionals to enter and win awards because several of our best agencies had nothing to present - so I called several professionals - and paid their fees and they entered their best work to keep up the momentum of quality work here on the Treasure Coast. I explained this to Heather Christman, 4AAF Governor of Florida, and she was extremely impressed by our Design Membership and the quality of the work at the 2020 Treasure Coast Addy Judging.

It's a very self-serving world now - but I keep our students at the forefront of everything I do - I'm rewarded with comments from my students all over the country - it makes all the hard work worth every minute.
Thank you my friend for all you do that 
​keeps the fire burning in all of us!

Walt, I am thrilled that the website has been published. Thank you 
for staying with me over the years! It's fun to see that all of the Leathered Pearls, LLC needs have been met. Should you have students who need/want further projects (such as create packaging for the wedding earrings, make more graphics for social media posts, additional website slides, etc) I am open to a continued relationship with IRSC. We'll be in touch should you need recommendations for your program and/or work opportunities.  
                                                         Warmest regards,
