SAGA in the Rebel Yell?!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update today. Don't forget that we have a meeting this evening. Tonight Antonio is going to show off his sweet 3D studio max skills and help us learn a bit about that.

Also if you're out and about be sure to grab a copy of this edition of the Rebel Yell as SAGA was featured in an article there.

See you all tonight!

Awards!

SAGA and UNLV represent again! Several of our members recently took part in the annual AIGA Work Show and I'm happy to say we did not go home empty handed.

We have some true talent among us. So the next time to happen to see one of these talented artists in the halls or on the street be sure to tell them congrats.

For those of you not quite familiar with AIGA just take a moment to visit AIGA.org and lasvegas.aiga.org. You'll see why this is such a momentous occasion. It's not every day that students get a chance to meet with working professionals of this caliber not to mention have the chance to show off our chops.

Another chapter in the SAGA begins.

After a nice summer break and a changing of the guard SAGA is now back in full swing. We had our first meeting last week on Tuesday night which gave everyone a chance to touch base and even meet with a few new faces.

The topics that were covered ranged from highlighting a few things we have done in the past semesters to new opportunities coming in the very near future. We will be having several guest speakers this year in addition to several tutorials that we think everyone will like. I'd like to also mention that some of the topics that will be covered are branching out into fields that all designers will eventually interact with. With that in mind we'll have a focus on photography, marketing, web design, 3d effects and a focus on designing for textiles.

We have lots to show off this year so even if you couldn't make last meeting be sure to stop by for another meeting. We'll be posting a more comprehensive schedule very soon so please stay tuned.

With all of that said our second meeting will be this evening at 7pm in the student union RM 208C. Feel free to stop by and see what is going on. We all look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Kristen Katz
