Jeff Carpenter :: Soup Kitchen
One of our own received an honorable mention in Graphic Exposure. Congrats Jeff Carpenter
Jeff took a sculpture course in New Zealand last semester that hosted an exhibit titled "Soup Kitchen". Appropriately enough they also served free soup.
From Jeff:
The concept behind the poster is pretty simple. Soup Kitchen>feed homeless>hold cardboard signs. I just took advantage of the fact that homeless people have their own unique avenue for displaying messages (no pun intended?). That pun may have been a stretch. Either way, there you have it!

Graphic Exposure is in Stevens Point and runs from Feb 14-March 14. Other accepted work from: Derek Huber, Kayd Mustonen, Stacey Kanarski and Matt Kuglitsc.

Valentine Cards were a Hit!
Thanks to everyone that participated and created Valentine Cards this year. It was a huge success.
We also were featured in the paper!

MENOMONIE - UW-Stout graphic arts students are spreading love this Valentine's Day, and at the same time getting some public exposure for their work.
Students with the American Institute of Graphic Arts chapter at the university sold Valentine's Day cards this past week at the Memorial Student Center. The cards ranged from sentimental and loving to the raunchy side of Cupid's arrow.
One card showed two halves of a pear. It read: "Together we make a pair."
Another depicted a pair of socks smiling at each other with the greeting: "I'm glad I found you."
Others offered promises of a candlelight dinner, a massage or an opportunity to just sit and talk. Some were racier, discussing adult romantic activities.
The romantic humor depicted on some cards was a draw to passers-by. UW-Stout sophomore Taylor Wald bought four cards.
"I passed by the table, and they caught my attention," she said. "I think they are really creative. I was totally in a bad mood. They totally made me laugh."
Wald said she plans to keep the cards for herself to hang in her room.
"Maybe if I feel generous, I'll give them away," the 20-year-old psychiatric rehabilitation major quipped, smiling.
Bethany Danielson, 19, appreciated the cards, because they're original works of art.
"What a great idea," the sophomore secondary education major said. "It's great that they are made by students. It's something you really want to support."
This year marks the second in which graphic arts students have designed Valentine's Day cards for sale, said Hannah Hess, an AIGA chapter member. Proceeds from card sales help students pay to attend a design camp, where they can meet design professionals and other students.
"People are able to see the students' work," Hess, a junior graphics design major, said. "It's a way for students to get their designs out there."
Students created about 40 individual cards, which sold from 50 cents to $1 apiece. The group plans to sell Valentine's cards again next year and also may make Christmas and New Year's cards.
"Some of them are sweet and sentimental," Hess said. "Then we go all the way to the spectrum of more adult humor. It fits the range of the audience we have.
"I think students are more appreciative that kids their own age are making the cards. It's great to be able to show your parents, friends and family what you do and what you're going to be doing for a living."
Staci Paul, 21, a senior graphics design major, said it was just plain fun.
"This is what we are going to be doing someday," she said. "They are a little more personal than cards you see at the stores."
