PLNU GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDIO

Branding project! Imagine, the coolest design firm out there, in here! As part of our plan to expand and enhance our design program, we will be creating a "Design Studio" course. This course will seek real clients for the work the "studio" will do. We will create contracts, schedules, and of course produce incredible work. We will only provide work to those in need, ie., qualified non-profit organizations, those without "marketing departments," all volunteer groups (where no one is paid), places where we can make a visible difference.

First we need a name, identity, maybe a simple website.

San Diego State has a similar course called "Design Studio."

We have one client already established, http://www.rescue.org/, they assist refugees, new to the country. Andie, Diane and I will attend a meeting tomorrow morning to learn more about two of their clients, ladies from Africa starting "produce/farming" businesses.

BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT DESIGN
