Good News & Bad News
Bad News First
Due to economic reasons, the National Student Conference will not be taking place this year.
Good News: The Show Must Go On
We are still organizing a National Student Show to recognize and award the best student work the nation has to show off. Winning entries will be posted online and published in a first-ever annual that will go to the top creative shops in the country.
More Good News
The original submission deadline has been moved back two months. The deadline is now April 16th, so you have more time this semester to perfect your work. So students, get your best work together, and mail in your entries for your chance at cash prizes and recognition nationwide.
More information about the show, and Entry forms to download will be posted on the official website by February.

Look Good. Talk Good: A Portfolio & Interview Workshop Series
Look Good. Talk Good: A Portfolio & Interview Workshop Series Presented by Good For Grasshopper & We Are 1976
Most schools teach you about how to kern and rag. Most schools teach you about color and form. But not all of them teach you the part that can be the gateway between being a student designer and a real world designer. This February through April, Good For Grasshopper in partnership with We Are 1976 will be offering a series of workshops to help you make that transition—from polishing your portfolio presentation to getting an interview and acing it. At the end of the series will be a mock interview speed-dating session so you can practice what you’ve learned with some local industry leaders.
The best part is these workshops are FREE to attend! But space is limited so click here to register now.
