Designer Nick Felton will be beaming into the November 19th Edition of Show & Tell in room 170 at NOON! He was a virtual guest of ours last year and we are so excited to welcome him back! If you are taking Information Design, PLEASE PLEASE make it a priority to attend!

A little bit about Nick:

Nicholas Felton spends much of his time thinking about data, charts and our daily routines. He is the author of several personal annual reports that collate countless measurements into a rich collection of graphs and maps reflecting the year’s activities. He is the co-founder of Daytum.com, a site for counting and communicating daily data, and regular designer of information graphics for numerous publications. His work has been profiled in publications including the Wall Street Journal, Wired and Creative Review.

Thinking about interning in Portland? Want to learn more about film editing, video, print design, advertising and action sports design? Come and hang out with Scott Clum of Ride Studio this Thursday at noon in room 170! He wants to meet you. Scott has a studio in Portland and has worked with PSU-GD interns and grads. He is excited to share his work and talk with students about design, motion graphics and working in the real world. Scott will show some personal work he created with British artist Damien Hirst and flim director Tony Kaye (American History X) and a current project he is working on. 

From Scott's website, "The history of ride design studio is a combo of two worlds. My life as an action sports athlete and my life as an artist. Right out of art school i started combining my interests in fine art and advertising as one world. Taking refined layouts that looked way too perfect and instinctually re-positioning them within a world of broken type, paint and a barrage of organic materials. This to me represented a more defined picture of reality. An energy and fluidness [ or lack of.. ] That made design much more integrated and challenging." For more about Scott Clum.

A few of Scott's clients/projects include: Kaiser Permanente, Johnson & Johnson, music videos for The Hours and Lisa Marie Presley, Ford, American Express, The Verve, Tony Kaye Dubai and Metallica.
