CCAD DESIGN GROUP
The mission of the CCAD Design Group is to mentor and educate aspiring young designers and artists. As a complement to their degree studies, students selected for this group are introduced to a holistic approach to the creative process, working with a wide range of clients, budgets, and creative teams. The success of the group is derived from the students who form the group. Their youthful perspective, diverse viewpoints and inventive approaches to problem solving create an environment that is productive and inspires everyone's best efforts.
Despite the pressures of real projects and clients, and the challenges of working with a variety of media and audiences, they are coached to develop a personal voice and communication skills that form the building blocks for their future careers.
THE NEW SITE
The creation of the new site was no easy task. At the beginning of the 2007 Spring semester the site was helmed by the group and managed by senior project manager Nick Dellaposta. In the many long months that followed, Nick began translating the old site into what it looks like today. One of the biggest redesigns was for the majors pages. These designs were managed by David Rose, seeking newer and more dynamic ways to show off the seven majors offered by the college. With help from creative director Robert Coles and other members of the CCAD faculty, major decisions were made to not only make a beautiful new site, but also an accurate and informative one. Of course, a website is always a work in progress, but we feel this site starts a new foundation for this online community to grow and flourish. We hope that everyone enjoys the new site and discovers a whole new side of CCAD that we found in bringing the new site to life.
