A Tale of Two Graphic Designers: Martin Venezky and Jon Sueda

Today, professors Martin Venezky and Jon Sueda seem like two sides of the same coin. In the Graphic Design courses they co-teach at CCA, they listen to their students before speaking, argue with each other fruitfully and comfortably, then almost always agree on what the student should do next. In addition to their academic work, each has forged a successful professional career.

DAI Alum Made Good! Acme Made and Me

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Gritchelle Fallesgon

Hello Professors!

I just wanted to share some awesome news. I am featured in an SF inspired campaign by Acme Made! They made a little video about me and currently have me on the homepage of their website. If you're not familiar with Acme Made, they are an SF designer bag company specializing in laptop & camera bags and iphone/ipad cases. This new campaign will feature all sorts of SF creatives such as photographers, bike builders, foodies and graphic designers (like me!) and my piece starts off the campaign.

The interesting thing is that for the video, they focused on the "I Haight Art" piece which is a project I did in Josh Singer's DAI 525 class! I was kind of surprised that they decided to just focus on that piece, but whatever, I'm grateful to have been chosen in the first place.

Anyway here is the video: http://blog.acmemade.com/2011/03/17/sf-inspired-gritchelle-fallesgon/

And the website: http://www.acmemade.com/

I'm pretty stoked!

I hope everyone is doing well!

Best,

Gritchelle
