Our very own Nadya Bratt was featured on Abduzeedo – Typography Mania for her typography poster “Inside of a Dog”, based on a famous Groucho Marx quote.

Aaaaand here’s the process:
There are a few PAID, in-house graphic design internship opportunities opening up at Orca Health here in Salt Lake City.
All interested applicants should send a PDF portfolio and resume to Dane Thurber (thurber@orcahealth.com).
While these are student internships, please be prepared to put your best foot forward and represent yourself in a professional manner.
Good luck!

EVERY student should participate! Get out. Get seen. Have fun!
Let’s enjoy Salt Lake Design Week together!
Know your GRIDS!
Our brains are naturally attracted to order…and also, grids are visually pleasing. A layout with content lined up on a horizontal or vertical grid will always be more attractive to look at than one that isn’t.
Stay Focused.
Choose a single visual element to focus on. If you must use multiple images, give them unity using alignment and proximity to create a single visual unit.
Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.
Using a design element more than once is a way to create visual relationships and continuity. Using the same alignment, color coding certain page elements and placing a page number in the same position on every page are just a few different ways that repetition helps create consistency for related pages in a publication.
Make it Interesting!
One of the easiest ways to make a layout visually interesting is to create contrast between elements. Be it type or images, this can be achieved through the use of scale, color, space, alignment and many of those other basic principles of design we thought we’d never use again. The greater the contrast between elements, the more interesting your layout will be.
Last week, INK SLCC members were invited to start creating and sharing posts with the entire community. To ease the transition from “enthusiastic design student” to “enthusiastic design student AND turbo-awesome-design-blog-contributor” – and to clear up any confusion about the publishing process, here’s a little tutorial that explains EXACTLY how to create new posts and share content on the inkslcc.com website. (view in HD or fullscreen for best results.)
Remember, sharing is caring so…START SHARING RIGHT MEOW!!!

Hi All,
If you’ve been checking the blog, the calendar, Facebook page or the AIGA SLC website, you know that the first AIGA “Cocktails with Creatives” (or on this occassion, “Ice Cream with Creatives”) event of the season was held last night to inaugurate WeLikeSmall’s swanky new design space. It was a casual night of chatting it up with local design superstars and AIGA board members, touring the new studio, free well-designed swag and dessert induced brain-freeze.
Here are some pics we snapped in the studio:
That’s all for now! Hope to see YOU at the next Cocktails with Creatives!
Here’s a bit of kinetic typography, motion graphics and inspiration for ya.
Also, the first AIGA Cocktails with Creatives takes place this Friday, September 20th from 6:30pm-8:00pm. Click HERE for details.
