ADC Grandmasters
I don’t usually get too caught up in industry events and awards, but this time it’s for a teacher who helped shape my career. (And it doesn’t hurt that I have work being displayed either.) The Art Directors Club is celebrating the second year of its Grandmasters awards by distinguishing four professors who have helped to shape the newcomers to our industry over the years. The four people being honored this year are:
Deborah Morrison, University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communications
Tom Ockerse, Rhode Island School of Design
Hank Richardson, The Portfolio Center
Ron Seichrist, Miami Ad School
Each professor asked a few of their former students (I had Deb Morrison at UT Austin before she moved on to Oregon) to submit samples of their professional work to be displayed at the ADC gallery. I was fortunate enough to be asked by Deb to include a bit of my work in support of her teachings. If you make it to the opening, keep an eye out for the truTV work from POKE NY.
The award presentation and reception is being held on Monday, November 16 from 6-8pm at the ADC.
