MSU Students Win Rail Jam Contest
Once again, this year students from Montana State University partnered with Chamberlin Rail Jam to create all the promotional graphics for the event.

The winning team of graphic design students included Nikki Simon and Samantha Delvo, both of Billings and Andrew Lockhart from Sandy, Oregon. Together this team of three seniors developed concepts for promotional posters, event tickets, web banner ads, website home page and vehicle wraps. This year’s winning theme depicted a robot rendition of legendary Paul Bunyan and his blue ox Babe.
This professional student project sponsored by Chamberlin Productions included participation of two upper level undergraduate graphic design classes, taught by Jeffrey Conger and Jason Johnson in the School of Art at MSU. The second place team included Alexa Audet, Emily Newhouse and Miranda McAdams. The third place team included Dominique Fultz, Jenny Keller, Allie Sticka and Gabrielle Althoff.
The Professional Studio class partners students in a think-tank scenario to develop solutions for real world application. To learn more about the upcoming Rail Jam event visit www.therailjam.com.
Minneapolis Stopover.
Hello, this is professor Meta reporting in from a layover I had in Minneapolis. I'm now in Venice, and about to begin teaching the Semester in Italy program with Harvey Hamburgh. On the way I had an 8 hour stopover, so I took the opportunity to check in with Kayla Campbell (BFA, Graphic Design 2010) and get a tour of the CSA design studio where she works. She was also kind enough to pick me up at the airport and drop me off at the Walker Art Center, where Kayla and her compadres at CSA recently had their work exhibited as part of a design show. You can peruse the catalog here. Kayla is doing great and says hello to all of her fellow 2010-grads. Thanks Kayla for the great visit!
