ArtPrize 2009
Oct 9, 11:30 AM by HM Copywriter
And the winners are …
As a resident of downtown Grand Rapids, I was more than pleased with the buzz and other benefits ArtPrize has bestowed upon our great city.
For those of you not familiar, ArtPrize it is an open art competition that was designed to draw worldwide attention to Grand Rapids—and to “reboot the conversation” between the art world and the public.
The beauty of the contest is its delicate marriage of venue and artist. This genius coupling not only drew thousands from around the world to contribute and appreciate an eclectic array of art, but also brought attention and revenue to galleries, businesses and restaurants in which the art was featured.
The rules were simple. Any artist—from established to emerging—had the chance to show their work. Any visitor viewing the work could vote. The votes determined who would win the largest art prize in the world—$250,000.
The results are in. Please let us know if you agree.
Head start on summer

Someone (you know who you are) had a truly great idea: let’s kick off the holiday with a cookout on Thursday. So we grilled burgers and dogs, and everybody brought their favorite dish (amazingly, jellied eels didn’t turn up). We enjoyed the fresh air, ate slighly more than we should have, and the gang of thirty-odd (not thirty odd) people just hung out for a bit.

We would like to congratulate Baker College senior, Nicole Houghtaling, on her winning entry in the Hanon McKendry 2009 Creative Crawl Student Poster Contest.
The contest was held in conjunction with the American Advertising Federation of West Michigan (formerly Ad Club of West Michigan) 2009 AD Fair Creative Crawl in February. All college and university students from throughout West Michigan who attended the Creative Crawl were eligible to enter.
Houghtaling is a graphic communications major at Baker College in Muskegon, and will graduate this spring. She plans to continue her studies at The Polishing Center in May. A member of AD2, Nichole has her sights set on a position as an art director or graphic designer in an advertising, design or other creative-based firm.
Nichole won $100.00 for her winning entry, that she will likely spend on her Shi tzu, and insatiable love for Raisnettes.

Great 3-D for the WWW

I recently came by this great site by McCann-Erickson Japan about simple things you can do to be eco minded in your day to day life.
What really strikes me is the use of 3-D and fluid camera movements. This is a very fun yet educational web app.
enjoy.
