Be A Design Cast 51 : Boise State
Last December traveled to the fair city of Boise, Idaho to speak to a group of promising young designers who were soon to enter the workforce as recent graduates. They were a good group, and proved to be a lot of fun, whether it was drinking and dancing with their professors, walking home in the freezing rain barefoot, or having their friends take awkward photos of me from a distance making “gestures” in the foreground. Our 24-hours in Boise was one of the most enjoyable trips I’ve ever taken in relation to graphic design. So what to do but plop down in the middle of the Boise State graphic design department and record our follow-up to Season 2: Season 3! We spend about half this show talking with our faculty friends and the other half taking some long-overdue listener mail. Welcome back!

It does take a bit of set-up, some trial and error, and isn’t the quickest thing, but it works well in low quantity runs and for an affordable price.
If you are doing a lot of die-cutting (like weekly stuff, or in large quantities), I’m sure there are better machines.

More and more students are striving to peruse as graphic designers.
Jobs in graphic design are estimated to be one of the largest and fastest growing job markets through 2014. Most careers will be in computer graphic design, website design, and computer animation design. Competition will continue to be steep, even though a lot of jobs are available for someone pursuing a career in computer graphic design. This is because computer graphic design is a popular area of study, and many people pursue computer graphic design as either a career, a hobby, or a part time freelancing gig.
