At least, it doesn\u2019t always feel that way. Most days it feels as though we live on the uppermost floor of the historic James building; our home away from home!<\/p>\n<p>Our program is a smaller one, compared to business, nursing, and the like \u2013 however, we\u2019ve certainly made the most of our little space up there. As soon as you enter the fourth floor of James, you know you\u2019ve set foot in our creative corner. Posters are hung wall to wall, advertising exciting opportunities such as marketing internships and film festivals; all of the classrooms on our end are filled with Goliath-sized iMac computers; we even have bright orange walls in our main design lab. I\u2019m pretty sure those wouldn\u2019t fly in any other discipline!<\/p>\n<p>But the true hidden gem of our corner, the pride of our department, is the photography studio. All the way in the back of the fourth floor, nestled against a cozy lounge area, lives the<em> magic<\/em>. This room contains everything from professional flash equipment to gorgeous backdrops to large modeling fans and more; and it is <em>completely free for our majors to use, whenever we\u2019d like! <\/em>What other school can boast that privilege?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been assigned a \u201cSurreal Sermon\u201d project for which I need to portray a Bible story as it would have truly looked. So, this week I\u2019ll be spending a lot of time in that studio, using top-of-the-notch camera equipment that is available and free of charge for us to use as well.<\/p>\n<p>We graphic design and photography students are enormously blessed by these freedoms and privileges. I can\u2019t imagine what it would be like to \u201clive\u201d in any department outside of my creative corner!<\/p>\n<p>Come see it sometime!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve had so many students ask me, \u201cWhere do graphic design students have their classes?\u201d Well, let me tell you \u2013 in our creative corner, of course!
