Makerspace on Rutgers Livingston Campus

A makerspace is growing inside Rutgers. It is located at 35 Berrue Circle
Piscataway Township. In the space they are running Make Your Makerspace events on Wednesday evening, and a 3D printing night Thursday after 8pm.

As design area faculty we are going to visit their October 18th, 3D printing event at 8pm. Please join us if you like.

Student Financial Review

Hey everyone, Mark here. I’m writing because the Student Financial Review is looking for a design student to create the layout and style of the magazine. I was their designer last semester when the student publication began and I’d like to pass off the torch to any design students interested in getting experience with a publication and building their portfolio. The paper is very willing to give them a tremendous amount of flexibility with the layout, and are very open to new ideas.

As a student officer position, it is voluntary and can last through the academic year. The students will work with other editors, writers, and photographers to put out 2-3 issues a semester. Because we are willing to consider a whole new look, the amount of time put in each week is up to designer. However, you will be required to commit 4-10 hours one week with about 3 weeks without work. It can be more or less if you decide to create your own look or go with the last year’s template.
 
I want to reiterate the point that we’re still experimenting with our style, which tries to incorporate the serious edge of a newspaper with the creative liberties of magazines. So anything goes. Anything. Also, the name of the paper suggests we cover just financial news, but we are very interested in local issues, business, and events.
 
If you’re interested in a worthwhile challenge, let me know! You can email me at mhans@eden.rutgers.edu

The Alchemy of Light

Projection mapping live performance art – The Alchemy of Light by a dandypunk from a dandypunk on Vimeo.

A few excerpts from a 10 minute, one man live performance piece.
Using projection mapping onto street furniture, a dandypunk travels through various fantastical worlds, interacting with strange characters and treacherous landscapes, in the hope of unfolding the secrets and learning the techniques from the ancient book of “The Alchemy of Light”.

Mark your calendars for Cooper-Hewitt’s largest education initiative! National Design Week aims to draw national attention to the ways in which design enriches everyday life.

Launched in 2006, National Design Week is held each year in conjunction with the National Design Awards program. During National Design Week, Cooper-Hewitt’s award-winning Education Department hosts a series of free public programs based on the vision and work of the National Design Awards honorees. National Design Week culminates with the National Design Awards gala ceremony.

In recognition of the importance of design education, organizations and institutions across the country sponsor design events throughout the month.
