A New Sport for Designers

Posted March 23rd, 2009 by Jimmy Coburn

Ok, we all know being a designer these days doesn’t involve much exercise. However, the people over at Coudal Partners in cooperation with Tilted have come up with an ingenious way to simulate exercise for the modern day designer. With sponsor, Adobe, they have created “Layer Tennis.” This digital “tennis” game pits two designers against each other, with each designer receiving 5, 15 min “volleys” to change and create an original and interesting design. What is even cooler is that you can even break a sweat while watching it live on the internet every Friday starting at 2pm est.

Myjive Goes to Middle School

Posted March 23rd, 2009 by Jimmy Coburn

In November, Myjive had the chance to visit Lancaster South Middle School. Mrs. Peters, teacher of the technology and art class, invited us to give a presentation for their “Career Day.” Her goal was to show her students that you can have a career in art and to show how far you can go in Adobe Photoshop.

Our Creative Director, Ron Edelen, spoke in conjunction with Jessica Mushik (Classic Design Kitchen and Bath). Jessica went over some of the details of schooling and her trade. Ron gave a short presentation on some of the processes we use, different mediums for which we design, and showed our promotional reel. Then we opened it up to the kids for some questions, which was heavily dominated by questions about the gaming industry.

We later received thank you cards from the classes that we attended. They were created by Mrs. Peters’ students in Photoshop and were greatly appreciated.
