Join us Monday March 28th at 12:15 pm in room FA107 to hear a talk by
Jason Tselentis on the Art of Side Projects.

The Art of Side Projects

Whether you call it a side project, gig, or moonlighting, there's never been a better time to take on a second job. But why do so many of us have side projects in addition to, or as a replacement for, our full-time work? Oftentimes, we can't explain why. It could be a passion project, service project, or any old project, so long as you have a vision and a means to make it happen. Jason Tselentis showcases a range of side projects and some methods for taking them from idea to reality.

About Jason

As associate professor of design at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Jason Tselentis teaches graphic design, typography, web design, and brand identity. He has four books to his credit, regularly writes for HOW and PRINT magazines, and is a contributing editor at PRINT.
