On May 6, in the Gypsy Ted Gallery II, students presented their work for the Milk and Cookies Children\u2019s Book Exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of Professor Tyson\u2019s Desktop Publishing class, the students learned how to build print materials such as flyers and menus. Their final project was to create a children\u2019s book. Before the reception, students received feedback from the world\u2019s toughest critics: fifth graders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students from the Math-Science Magnet school came to the exhibit and received milk and cookies, and chose a few stories to be read to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They ooh-d and aah-d at the stories as they leaned forward in their seats. They exclaimed at the twists and turns, the jokes, and of course the pretty pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was really fun watching their reactions to it,\u201d said Natalie Thompson, a multimedia graphic design major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the children left, it was fun walking around and looking through all of the books. Each student had a different style and flair to their story. Some wrote creepy stories, others wrote about friendship. One story was about an alien cowboy and another was about a witch trying to get rid of a ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Tyson\u2019s students enjoyed this creative project and the ones that came before it. They gained a new appreciation for printed flyers, designs, and even restaurant menus that they may not have had before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natalie Thompson said, \u201cThis class has made me fall in love with creating logos and creating menus, and that\u2019s what I want to do: become a graphic designer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Tyson explained the challenges of the class: \u201cTime [is] needed to work on a layout to find the images you need to use. I also give [the students] messed up copyright; in the industry you\u2019re not always going to get pristine word documents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The books were very creative and the exhibition reminded me of going to book fairs when I was an elementary-schooler. It was enjoyable seeing other students my age use their talents to create fun stories for kids. Who knows? We may be witnessing the work of the next Dr. Seuss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
