Learning how to do graphic design and production, what used to be print, radio and television, motion pictures ( all quaint terms now, wouldn’t you say ) in the twenty-first century.

My son, now nine, got his first G3 several years ago- After the introduction of OS X- and managed to come up with a keystroke combination that zapped the EPROM last year- All this simply by watching daddy work from across the room.

Even the 2-3yr olds are doing schoolwork on computers….

Although my background is in ‘old school’ graphic design & typography- We used pen & ink, exacto knives, and camera’s as big as a two bedroom house- That era is gone and being reinvented as we speak.

Let me know if you need his email.

On the other hand they should have an awareness or an attunement to the local market.

I’ll give you one example: My fiance is planning an upcoming column on the history of the buffet in the american west, followed of course with a review of the various casino buffets in the area.

Another example might be a series of articles on the history of small town developement in the west.

We are open to suggestions.

In conjuntion with that, the town has fourteen golf courses and eleven casinos, fifty-three restaurants- Did I mention a small airport. Due to rather spectacular real estate developement almost everything else is in demand.

The local community college and high schools have thus far been un-responsive- One of the many reasons I brought the subject up here, in this venue.
