After developing the first print ad (top right) for this not-for-profit clothing store, I realized that the store logo did not represent their brand well enough. Using their parent organization’s logo as a inspirational guide, I developed their new logo (top left).

Using my initial ad as a template, my team developed additional print ads and even in store promo materials like the discount counter card (bottom right).Collaborators: Melissa Szwan (logo, print ads), Millie Fang (counter card)

03Faced with the challenge of selling a café concept that combined a tutoring service and hang out lounge targeted at college students, we first developed a logo that appeared professional yet still hip and accessible to the target audience. Next, I created slogans and tag lines, then worked with my

creative team to develop mock-ups for an ad campaign. Finally, we created a slide show presentation template to pitch the idea to investors, complete with 3D renderings of floor plans I created.Collaborators: Brianna Milka (logo, presentation), Melissa Szwan (logo, print ads)

the Argus | transforming student media

The concept for the Argus was based on the Greek mythological watchdog with one hundred eyes. I designed the logo to reflect an eye within my concept of the creature, imagined as a bird. I developed the website using WordPress and customizing the “Busy Bee” theme by WooThemes. Keeping with the

eye theme, I created additional logos for sections of the newspaper such as opinions, and horoscopes. I also designed our business card and a post-it used in our guerilla marketing launch campaign. Collaborators: Brianna Milka (logo concept), Katie Wolf (business card)

October is generally the time where people actively seek out ter-ror. Whether due to the spine chill-ing weather, or just Halloween,

things that are spooky give people that adrenaline rush.

This month of terror provides a legitimate excuse to allow people to frighten the living daylights out of each other, especially by sharing scary stories. One particular story that takes place within Illinois gives the chills: Bachelor’s Grove Cem-etery.

Upon entering the cemetery, a

white sign with “Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery” eerily welcomes. Imme-diately, a chilly vibe settles within the bones, causing one to think what could be lurking on the deso-late land. Stories about Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery are rarely heard and the truths of these stories are unknown, but the strangeness con-tinues to linger.

The cemetery was founded in

the mid-nineteenth century asEver-don’s Cemetery. Throughout the years, families visited the cemetery for Sunday picnics and even had a quarry pond for fishing.

However, in the 1950s and 60s, the cemetery began to lose it’s com-fortable aesthetics as teenagers who ere roaming around the woods near

Germaphobes – they wipe the seat before they sit on it, they wipe the table before they sit down, they clean their silverware because they do not trust the restaurant. Their weapon of choice would be hand sanitizer in a holster – locked and loaded.

This obsession for cleanliness may seem overrated, but are they on to

something the rest of the world should know?

Bacteria is everywhere, which is probably why there are now hand sanitizer stations in most public places – students can definitely find them strategically located around Student Center East (SCE).

However, just because these handy cleansers are more accessible than ac-tual soap and water, does not neces-sarily mean you should use them after every single thing you touch.

In actuality, overuse of antibacte-

A strike may occur at UIC if negotiations falter between uni-versity officials and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

Negotiations continue between the SEIU Local 73 and UIC. Uni-versity officials negotiated last week with SEIU’s bargaining unit.

Negotiations were held Wednes-day and Friday of last week and continue today at the union office.

Friday’s negotiations were go-ing “slow and steady,” said Adam Rosen, communications director of SEIU Local 73.

After negotiations, union mem-bers must approve the agreements.

If an agreement is not made a strike may ensue on campus, and 3,000 Local 73 employees may walk out. These employees hold maintenance, technical and cleri-

PROTESTERS CHANTING “CHOP FROM THE TOP”

The Chicago Flame’s publisher and its former news editor are fac-ing charges from the former Di-rector of the UIC Latino Cultural Center (LCC) who claims that an article published in the Chicago Flame cost him economic losses and damages to his reputation.

On Oct. 1, Rodrigo Carrami-nana, who served as Director of the LCC and adjunct professor of mathematics, filed a lawsuit against Malone Communications, Inc., the publisher of the Chicago Flame, and Gregory Royal Pratt, a former

Flame news editor who graduated from UIC with a degree in Political Science, on charges of defamation, false light, and invasion of privacy.

Carraminana seeks compensato-ry damages in an amount in excess of $50,000 plus punitive damages

to be determined at trial, according to court documents filed in the Cir-cuit Court of Cook County.

The suit states that the May 3 article headlined “Corruption in

On September 13, Inna Rubin, former news editor of the Chicago Flame, published an opinion article ti-tled, “The UIC bookstore butts heads with the first amendment.” The article alleged that the UIC Bookstore pres-sured Maggie Malone, publisher of the Chicago Flame, into not publishing an article about how the UIC Bookstore was violating the law.

There were numerous problems with Rubin’s opinion article. First, as Malone later pointed out, the First Amendment applies to the govern-ment, not to private publications or retailers of books.

Second, the article, authored by Flame staff writer Kevin Booker, was factually incorrect in its allegations against the UIC Bookstore violating the Higher Education Opportunity

ZACHARIAH WIEDEMANFEATURED EDITORIAL

Imagine walking by a flag pole on campus. There is nothing un-usual about it. You barely tilt your head upward to see what’s flying on the pole because you already know that once you look, you will see your country’s flag flying high and strong.

You quickly glance up and back down as you continue on your trek

to class, when what you saw finally registers in your mind.

Flying from the flag pole is a pair of boxers. In disbelief you look back up, and yes, boxers.

You bring your friends to the same flag pole telling them of the boxers you saw the week before, only to find the boxers are no lon-ger there. In fact, the flag pole has been turned into a giant morning star.

With the millions of flags erected across the United States,

Inside the $50,000 lawsuit

the Argus | going to print

Publisher of the Argus, Hermes Media, Inc., derives its name from the Greek messenger god. I designed the logo to reflect his winged sandals and reflect my roots in the Air Force. I designed the newspaper layouts to feature eye catching color, bold headlines, and an intuitive guide to the major sections.

I designed our media kit to have a clean and approachable feel that provided clients with a snapshot of our best market research and make it easy to find information that was relevant them.Collaborators: Brianna Milka (all), Katie Wolf (media kit), Melissa Szwan (logo, newspaper layouts)

deal watchers | bring students savings

We developed “deal watchers” as a web-portal to a student savings program that I helped negotiate for UIC in collaboration with UIC Undergraduate Student Government, Collegiate Services, and Edhance. We developed a variety of awareness building marketing materials including eighteen foot banners (top

left), door hangers (bottom left), table tents (center), bookmarks (bottom center), and collectable buttons used in a guerilla marketing campaign.Collaborators: Brianna Milka (buttons), Jackson Hill (banner, door hanger, table tent)

miscelanious creations

I designed the concept and layouts for Gentile’s Wine Shop and collaborated with Melissa Szwan to create the print ad. I developed the ad for Immanuel Baptist Church based on pre-existing promotional materials. I designed the SancTuarY logo for an online gaming alliance. I created the concept and

provided art direction for Brianna Milka who created the logo for my blog, optimiskeptic.com. For the campaign poster, I designed our logo to reflect the Chicago flag and include what looked like a post-it note so we could hand-write a custom message for each location the posters were hung.
