Inspirations Everywhere
Monday, Apr 11 1 22 AM : Midwest Conference | Portfolios

Suzzannah Johannes from University of Kansas showed this piece in her student Merit award presentation and it was the most artistic design piece I'd seen in a while. It's a two dimensional victorian furniture leg printed between two pieces of glass. I can't wait to see her work when she gets picked up by Droog Design.


This was one of the best conferences I'd attended, because of inspirations like this. I also met some kick-ass creatives at this thing from the speakers and professionals to students from UIUC, UW Stout, U of Kansas, y'all inspired me. I wonder how often people contact each other after conferences... I hope fairly often. Well, if any of you that I hung out with are ever in Chicago or live here, look me up, and I'll take you out to some good eats. You know my email.

This is Ko.
Over and out.

Ko you're dead right about the Droog Design possibility, she was very original in every way. I was just as refreshingly surpised by the guys from Fred Spark Design. -Merit Award winner Fred decided not to bother gunning for the big prize, but chose to present to us an honest story about how he and two buddies set up a design firm PRIOR to graduating! Sure the presentation lacked the professionalism shown by the other candidates, but they gave us a very honest show. "...so after a few months we found out we needed some financial books, and buisness certificate and things like that, we never got told this stuff at school..." It sounded naive but these guys will be business-fit in three years time, and I'm sure we'll hear about Fred for quite a while.
