Smiles and Spell Check

Everyone-

This was a fantastic experience I immensely enjoyed from working one on one with the graduates, to the professional team attitude of the ON|line Magazine staff, to the wonderful chance to work with the Westwood Instructors on a project outside the classroom.

I enjoyed watching the spreads grow from concept to finished published creation, I am now a true die hard fan of all your work, and would love to stay in touch via Incircle, I will be looking for your names in the credits of up coming video games.

My advice to any future participating graduates or future staff members come prepared…bring lots of smiles…caffeine is not negotiable….and spell check! Lol

I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world and this is just another example of the level of commitment Westwood has for its Online Student Body.

Kudos from me to everyone that had that a hand, or a mouse, in the production. You all did a fantastic job and I am pleased to be a small of part it.

We have accomplished great things with the Premiere issue of the WOL DESIGNONLINE Magazine.

It has been my pleasure and an honor to work side by side with some of the greatest talent that Westwood has graduating this term. Through this incredible journey I have learned something from each and everyone of you as I have watched your spreads grow into beautiful masterpieces.

Thank You John and Cass for allowing me to participate in such an incredible project, it has truly been an honor.

Congratulations Graduates and I wish you all the best on your future paths.

I am always here for any of you, please stay in touch.

This was a very inspirational experience working with all of the graduates on this publication. Watching the process of the rework and the layouts go from simple word documents to grand magazine spreads in such a short time certainly took my breath away. I have also come to make many new friends that are sure to make a grand entrance into their new careers. I cannot say how proud I am of all the Creative Directors who helped keep everyone within the deadline restrictions and the style guidelines, WOW what a lot of work, but you did it! I am certainly proud of what has come of our PREMIERE issue of Westwood Online, DesignOnline Magazine! Way to go Graduates of May 2008!!!!

As always if you need me just let me know,
