Taylor Design received two awards in the 2011 American Graphic Design Awards Competition, presented by Graphic Design USA Magazine. The projects honored include the new website for the Long Island Sound Study and the alumni magazine for Sarah Lawrence College.
Ryan Crane began his career at Taylor Design as a summer intern between his junior and senior years at the University of Connecticut, where he was working on a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design. Previously, he worked as a design intern at the Affinion Group in Norwalk and a web assistant at Alvarez Photography in Trumbull. Upon his graduation in December 2010, he joined us as a freelance designer and became full time in August 2011. Ryan has been developing communications for Right Management, Iona College, and MasterCard.
We closed the office early on Thursday to visit the new “Talk to Me” show at MoMA. The exhibition focuses on objects that involve direct interactions, such as interfaces, information systems, and communication devices, and on projects that establish emotional and intellectual connections with their users. It is an impressive collection and provides rich insights into what’s coming next for all things digital. The show runs until November 7, 2011. For more information visit MoMA.
Taylor Design was asked to assist the MasterCard Onboarding team with the development of the first annual summer internship video competition, themed “My Priceless Summer.” Ten teams of college interns were formed, with each group given a video camera and instructions to shoot footage during June and July. In August, Taylor Design hosted the intern teams at our studio, teaching each group how to edit their videos, add music, and animate type. The finished videos were judged by an expert panel and three winners were selected. Congratulations teams and best of luck senior year.
